{"product_id":"the-black-atlantic-paul-gilroy-9781839766121","title":"The Black Atlantic","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this ground-breaking work, Paul Gilroy proposes that the modern black experience can not be defined solely as African, American, Carribean or British alone, but can only be understand as a Black Atlantic culture that transcends ethnicity or nationality. This culture is thorough modern and, often, overlooked but can deeply enriches our understanding of what it means to be modern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis condition comes out of historical transoceanic experience, established first with the slave trade but later seen in the development of a transatlantic culture. And Gilroy takes us on a tour of the music that, for  centuries, has transmitted racial messages and feeling around the world,  from the Jubilee Singers in the nineteenth century to Jimi Hendrix to  rap. He also explores this internationalism as it is manifested in black  writing from the \"double consciousness\" of W. E. B. Du Bois to the  \"double vision\" of Richard Wright to the compelling voice of Toni  Morrison. As a consequence, Black Atlantic charts the formation of a nationalism, if not a nation, within this shared, disasporic culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Gilroy","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43175895531763,"sku":"9781839766121","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781839766121.jpg?v=1662078759","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/the-black-atlantic-paul-gilroy-9781839766121","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
