This book brings together her most important and influential essays, ranging over such topics as the necessity for racially diverse school curricula, the construction of literary canons, Zora Neale Hurston’s portraits of “the Folk,” C.L.R. James and Trinidadian nationalism and black women blues artists, and the necessity for racially diverse school curricula.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarby’s analyses of diverse aspects of contemporary culture are invariably sharp and provocative, her political insights shrewd and often against the grain. A powerful intervention, \u003ci\u003eCulture in Babylon\u003c\/i\u003e will become a standard reference point in future debates over race, ethnicity and gender.\"At every turn, Carby refuses to tell a tidy or convenient story and instead produces an account of empire that is as expansive as it is heartbreaking.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Saidiya Hartman\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Carby disrupts fixed notions of racial identity that contort our understanding of Britain’s colonial and postcolonial history.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Paul Gilroy, author of \u003ci\u003eDarker Than Blue and The Black Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hazel Carby is a foundational scholar of race, class, and empire as critical lenses for understanding culture.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Elizabeth Alexander, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Light of the World and American Sublime\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304655638757,"sku":"NP9781859842812","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/haymarket-seriesisbn-9781859842812","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
