White Negroes: When Cornrows Were in Vogue ... and Other Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation by Lauren Michele Jackson

4.0

Lauren Michele Jackson in White Negroes provides engaging essays on topics having to do with cultural appropriation. Not necessarily having to do with *who can do what,* but the book has more to do with the power dynamics surrounding culture/cultural artifacts. The essays are focus on mainly on contemporary issues, but often finds itself going back through American history to show how some things stay the same.
