Autor B. Kopano, T. Brown
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 dec 2014

Recenzii

“Soul Thieves is a collection of essays thatcritically weighs the consequences of appropriating black culture. … The volumehas broad appeal and informs academics how black material culture is conversantwith many of the same discourses as conventional historical narratives. … SoulThieves is a welcomed addition to interdisciplinary fields, African Americanstudies in particular.” (Kameelah L. Martin, Journal of American Culture, Vol.102 (3), December, 2015)
"This ground breaking interdisciplinary publication is long overdue and offers deep insight into the efficacy of African American popular culture and it's critical impact on shaping artistic cultural production on a global scale. The contributors, leading scholars in their respective research areas, set the record straight through their thought provoking and accessible historicalresearch." - Melanye White Dixon, Associate Professor, Department of Dance, The Ohio State University, USA
