About the book
"From the novels of Toni Morrison to the music of Beyoncé Knowles, the cultural prevalence of a transnational black identity, as created by African American women, is more than a product of geographic mobility. Rather, as author Simone C. Drake shows, these constructions illuminate our understanding of a chronically marginalized demographic. In Critical Appropriations, Drake contends that these fluid and heterogeneous characterizations of black females arise from multiple creative outlets--literature, film, and music videos--and reflect African American women's evolving concept of home, community, gender, and family"--Jacket.
