520 |a Exploring the interface between the cultural poliics of the Black Power and Black Arts movements and the production of postwar African American popular culture, Amy Ongiri shows how the reliance of Black politics on an oppositional image of African Americans was the formative moment in the construction of 'authentic blackness' as a cultural identity. While other books have adopted either a literary approach to the language, poetry, and arts of these movements or a historical analysis of them, Spectacular Blackness captures the cultural and political interconnections of the postwar period by using an interdisciplinary methodology drawn from cinema studies and music theory. Ongiri traces the emergence of this Black aesthetic from its origin in teh Black Power movements emphasis on the creation of visual icons and the Black Arts movement's celebration of urban venacular.
