Franklin, Aretha
Zu-Zu's Song
The essay explores how the invisibility and trauma of Black women are negotiated in Black sonic culture, utilizing Ricardo Cortez Cruz's experimental novel Five Days of Bleeding (1995), in which the primary female character, Zu-Zu, speaks (and sings) primarily using obscure song lyrics and titles, largely drawn from an archive of Black women's performance
Looking for Leroy
Mark Anthony Neal’s Looking for Leroy is an engaging and provocative analysis of the complex ways in which black masculinity has been read and misread through contemporary American popular culture. Neal argues that black men and boys are bound, in profound ways, to and by their legibility. The most “legible” black male bodies are often rendered as criminal, bodies in need of policing and containment. Ironically, Neal argues, this sort of legibili…

N*ggas in Paris
This essay explores the meaning potentials of the exportation of American commercial rap music (exemplified via rap stars Kanye West and Jay Z) through the metaphorical lens of the discourse of exile. This perspective opens a view to Black aspirations as a vagabond, deviant, unsettled, search for the good life. Using, for example, the uptake of West and Jay Z's song, ‘Niggas in Paris,’ in a socialist party candidate's platform ad to attract aspir…

I Am Not Just From Here
This response paper considers the gender realities of the subjects in Isoke's Women, Hip Hop, and Cultural Resistance in Dubai in relation to U.S. based hip hop artists who have recently begun to situate their work and image in larger international contexts. Neal argues that the while recent and publicized acts have begun to mark US hip hop artists as “citizens of the world,” in fact hip hop artist have always been cosmopolitian. Keywords: cosmop…

White Chocolate Soul
there has been no greater tension within the tradition of black pop music than that associated with the performance of 'black' styles by white musicians and performers. in the past, it has been all too easy to identify many of these white artists under the rubric of 'blue-eyed soul' - a term that is as much a social construction of raced identities as it is a marketing ploy. using paul c. taylor's essay 'funky white boys and honorary soul sisters…

Black Gay Man
In the opening section of his book Black Gay Man, Robert Reid-Pharr expresses some ambivalence about the book's title: "The reason for my difficulty is not only the rather obvious fact that one's identity cannot be possibly summed up by the phrase or any of its derivatives. . . but also that every time I hear the designation, I feel almost as if I am somehow denying a basic reality of my intellectual temperament" (1). Even the book's structure—th…

Conclusion
Whereas there has been a great deal of interest in national cultural difference in recent years, there has been a failure to grasp how it results in corporate and management failure. The main reason for this is that the concept of culture has been reified, resulting in confused thinking and muddled analysis. Researchers have thus been more concerned with defining and quantifying national cultures than with examining how cultural difference result…
