| Description: |
This work examines the emergence of the ethnic hero within popular culture. It looks at the dynamic rise of African-American pop icons, the social and historical contexts in which they flourished, and their powerful impact on the African-American community. |
| Synopsis: |
In the wake of the Kennedy era, a new kind of ethnic hero emerged within African-American popular culture. Uniquely suited to the times, burgeoning pop icons projected the values and beliefs of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, and reflected both the possibility and the actuality of a rapidly changing American landscape. In this work, William Van Deburg examines the dynamic rise of these new black champions, the social and historical contexts in which they flourished, and their powerful impact on the African-American community. |
