Soul Babies: Black Popular Culture and the Post-Soul Aesthetic

In <em>Soul Babies</em>, Mark Anthony Neal explains the complexities and contradictions of black life and culture after the end of the Civil Rights era. He traces the emergence of what he calls a "post-soul aesthetic," a transformation of values that marked a profound change in African American thought and experience. Lively and provocative, <em>Soul Babies</em> offers a valuable new way of thinking about black popular culture and the legacy of the sixties.
