| Summary: | Reimagining Black Masculinities addresses how Black masculinities are created, negotiated and contested in public spaces, focusing on how theory meets praxis when mobilizing for social change. Contributors disentangle complexities of the Black experience and reimagine the radical progressive work required for societal health and wellbeing, forming a mental picture of what the world has the potential to be without excluding current realities for Black boys and men, civic manhood, maleness and the fluidity of masculinities. These realities are acknowledged and interrogated across private and public contexts, media, education, occupation and theoretical perspectives. This book encourages readers to reenvision social identity as an ongoing phenomenon, asserting that collective vision informs action and collective action informs possibilities for peace and freedom in the world around us. Scholars of communication, gender studies and race studies will find this book particularly. |
