Performance artist and scholar E. Patrick Johnson s provocative study examines how blackness is appropriated and performed toward widely divergent ends both within and outside African American culture. "Appropriating Blackness" develops from the contention that blackness in the United States is necessarily a politicized identity avowed and disavowed, attractive and repellent, fixed and malleable.

Cultural Struggles is the first gathering of Conquergood's work in a single volume, tracing the evolution of one...
