Description
Prove It On Me: A Cultural History of 1920s Black Women's Identity In the aftermath of the Great Migration, a new cultural ethos emerged among African Americans in the city. This modernist movement sought to challenge white supremacy and create opportunities for racial advancement. Erin D. Chapman explores the complex relationships between gender, sexuality, and race during this period. Chapman examines how black women's bodies were used as commodities in popular culture, and how they responded to these representations. She looks at advertisements, reformer ideologies, and the writings of New Negro women authors who challenged dehumanizing discourses. This book sheds light on the ways in which black women asserted their modern identities during a time of significant social change. By investigating the intersection of primitivism, patriarchal aspirations, and consumer culture, Chapman reveals the nuanced and often contradictory nature of the New Negro era's liberation efforts.
