Description
"Constructing Black Selves explores the cultural production of second-generation Caribbean immigrants in the United States after World War Two as a prism for understanding the formation of Caribbean American identity, Lisa D. McGill pays particular attention to music, literature, and film, centering her study around the figures of singer-actor Harry Belafonte, writers Paule Marshall, Audre Lorde, and Piri Thomas, and merengue-hip hop group Proyecto Uno." "Illuminating the ways in which Caribbean identity has been transformed by mass migration to urban landscapes, as well as the dynamic and sometimes conflicted relationship between Caribbean American and African American cultural politics, Constructing Black Selves is an important contribution to studies of twentieth-century U.S. immigration, African American and Afro-Caribbean history and literature, and theories of ethnicity and race."--BOOK JACKET.
