About Black Tradition
  • Visible and Invisible helps students better
    understand the bedrock beliefs of Black Tradition
    in America. Students read valuable and
    foundational theory through carefully selected
    articles, critically analyze famous and
    lesser-known forms of black culture, and learn
    how appropriation and performance have rendered
    certain aspects of black culture invisible. The
    text underscores how the omission of relevant
    teachings about African Americans continues the
    injustices and racial inequality experienced in
    America.

5 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT Black Tradition
1. A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLACK Tradition AND
"BLACK CULTURE." Black Tradition, sans quotes, is
the total of cultural contributions to the
mainstream by the black subculture. It's a fluid
and multifaceted, often contradictory thing. 2.
"BLACK CULTURE" OFTEN EMPLOYS, BUT IS NOT ALWAYS
DEFINED BY, ACTUAL BLACK PEOPLE Often by the time
"Black Culture" is being used to sell a product
or idea, it's already been reinterpreted by white
people.

3. BLACK Tradition IS MULTICULTURAL Black
Tradition draws from various influences born both
in and outside black communities. Janelle Monae's
album "Electric Lady" demonstrates this It is a
brilliant amalgamation of artistic references as
disparate as Motown and Fritz Lang's
Metropolis. 4. BLACK Tradition IS NOT PROPRIETARY
TO BLACK PEOPLE Many observers had a tough time
when rapper Macklemore Ryan Lewis won the
Grammy for best rap album over Kendrick Lamar.
