Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness?: What It Means to Be Black Now

Now in paperback, â€œone of the most acutely observed accounts of what it is like to be young, Black, and middle-class in contemporary Americaâ€¦told in a distinctive voice that is often humorousâ€¦but always intensely engagingâ€ (Orlando Patterson, The New York Times).

In this provocative book, writer and cultural critic TourÃ© explores the concept of Post-Blackness: the ability for someone to be rooted in but not restricted by their race. Drawing on his own experiences and those of 105 luminaries, he argues that racial identity should be understood as fluid, complex, and self-determined.
