Book excerpt: This four-volume encyclopedia contains compelling and comprehensive information on African American popular culture that will be valuable to high school students and undergraduates, college instructors, researchers, and general readers. From the Apollo Theater to the Harlem Renaissance, from barber shop and beauty shop culture to African American holidays, family reunions, and festivals, and from the days of black baseball to the era of a black president, the culture of African Americans is truly unique and diverse. This diversity is the result of intricate customs forged in tightly woven communities—not only in the United States, but in many cases also stemming from the traditions of another continent. Encyclopedia of African American Popular Culture presents information in a traditional A–Z organization, capturing the essence of the customs of African Americans and presenting this rich cultural heritage through the lens of popular culture. Each entry includes historical and current information to provide a meaningful background for the topic and the perspective to appreciate its significance in a modern context. This encyclopedia is a valuable research tool that provides easy access to a wealth of information on the African American experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering everything from sports to art, religion, music, and entrepreneurship, this book documents the vast array of African American cultural expressions and discusses their impact on the culture of the United States. According to the latest census data, less than 13 percent of the U.S. population identifies as African American; African Americans are still very much a minority group. Yet African American cultural expression and strong influences from African American culture are common across mainstream American culture—in music, the arts, and entertainment; in education and religion; in sports; and in politics and business. African American Culture: An Encyclopedia of People, Traditions, and Customs covers virtually every aspect of African American cultural expression, addressing subject matter that ranges from how African culture was preserved during slavery hundreds of years ago to the richness and complexity of African American culture in the post-Obama era. The most comprehensive reference work on African American culture to date, the multivolume set covers such topics as black contributions to literature and the arts, music and entertainment, religion, and professional sports. It also provides coverage of less-commonly addressed subjects, such as African American fashion practices and beauty culture, the development of jazz music across different eras, and African American business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume reference seeks to capture the ways in which the tenets and foundations of African American culture have given rise to today's society. Approaching the field from a "street level" perspective, these two volumes cover topics of universal interest in America: rap music, sports, television, cinema, racism, religion, literature, and much more. The Encyclopedia of African American Society is also the first comprehensive yet accessible reference set in this field to give voice to the turbulent historical trends–slavery, segregation, "separate but equal"–that are often ignored in favor of mere facts. This is a definitive, reliable, and accessible entry point to learning the basics about African American society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. James's unique biographical dictionary provides information concerning approximately 400 artists, nearly 300 of whom were living at the time of publication. Although the focus is on "fine artists"--sculptors, painters, and printmakers--the index groups artists by medium, listing photographers, illustrators, ceramists, performance artists, filmmakers, quilt makers, wood-carvers, and fiber artists. An index of nationalities lists 26 groups from Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean, but US artists predominate (approximately 300); Nigerians and Jamaicans are the second largest groups, with 16 listings each. The signed entries profile the artist and list the artist's exhibitions, the institutions holding the artist's work, and the artist's publications. Many entries provide photographs of the artists or examples of their work. All illustrations are black-and-white reproductions and are indexed separately. A four-part subject bibliography covers general works and works on African, African American, and Caribbean art. Profiles of some 80 advisers and contributors constitute the last section. College and university libraries and large public libraries need this survey of black artists. Copyright 1999 American Library Association.
