The Role of Criticism in Black Popular Culture.

Swindell, Warren C.

Western Journal of Black Studies, v10 n4 p185-92 Win 1986

Black popular culture is the dominant expression of values and behavioral preferences that make up the Afro-American life style. The black community must have critics who will evaluate, analyze, and make judgements about popular culture so that changes may improve the character and quality of individual and social life among Afro-Americans.
