| Synopsis: | There is, Paul Gilroy claims, a culture that is not specifically African, American, Caribbean or British, but all of these at once, a 'Black Atlantic' culture whose themes and techniques transcend ethnicity and nationality to produce something new and largely unremarked. Challenging the practices and assumptions of cultural studies, Gilroy complicates and enriches the common understanding of modernism. He also exposes the shared contours of black and Jewish concepts of diaspora to establish a theoretical basis for healing rifts between blacks and Jews in contemporary culture. | |
