Description
This book is a collection of essays that explore new forms of cultural expression in black British art during the 1980s. The essays explore how this prolific creativity is interpreted within a sociological framework that reveals new perspectives on the bewildering complexity of identity and diversity in an era of postmodernity.
Welcome to the Jungle brings a black British perspective to the critical reading of a wide range of cultural texts, events and experiences arising from volatile transformations in the politics of ethnicity, sexuality and ``race'' during the 1980s. The ten essays collected here examine new forms of cultural expression in black film, photography and visual art exerging with a new generation of black British artists, and interprets this prolific creativity within a sociological framework that reveals fresh perspectives on the bewildering complexity of identity and diversity in an era of postmodernity. Kobena Mercer documents a wealth of insights opened up by the overlapping of Asian, African and Caribbean cultures that constitute Black Britain as a unique domain of diaspora.
