This book focuses on expressions of popular culture among blacks in selected areas of Africa and its diaspora--specifically, the United States and the Caribbean. Proceeding from the dual premise that culture is a complex system of signification as well as a socially constructed product, the contributors to this volume, through their respective disciplinary prisms, seek to penetrate the hidden language of symbols in black popular culture in order to decode, decipher, and 'translate' them, to reveal their multiple meanings, functions, and roles.
