内容简介

Examining texts ranging from "Blaxploitation" to "New Black Cinema", and contemporary music video to autobiography and the public image of Sidney Poitier, "Boys, Boyz, Boies" studies the questions of ethics, gender and race in popular American images, national discourse and cultural production by and about black men. Distinctive in his analysis of ethics as a question of race and gender, Keith M. Harris proposes an ethics of masculinity, as ethnics refers to a system of morality and valuation and as ethics refers to a care of the self and ethical subject formation. The material studied include recent films by black/African American filmmakers, gansta rap and hip-hop and black star persona. "Boys, Boyz, Boies" is a significant contribution to cultural studies and gender studies and critical race theory, and any student of such would benefit from making it a priority read.
