Destructive Desires

Rhythm and Blues Culture and the Politics of Racial Equality

Beschreibung

Despite rhythm and blues culture's undeniable role in molding, reflecting, and reshaping black cultural production, consciousness, and politics, it has yet to receive the serious scholarly examination it deserves. Destructive Desires corrects this omission by analyzing how R&B culture articulates competing and conflicting political, social, familial, and economic desires within and for African American communities.
