Black and White Icon
|
Midnight Lightning Jimi Hendrix's social meaning, his sexual mystery, black and white icon and his scientific explorations in the field of sound are here addressed from a black perspective. This unique introduction to a man who, despite his popular appeal, has never made it into the pantheon of 20th-century black icons, incorporates extensive interviews with black Americans who shed light on Hendrix's complicated racial relationships. Midnight Lightning explores how Hendrix exploded the complacently segregated world to emerge as an icon for white boys, why his songs were not heard on black radio, black and white icon and why black people once viewed him as a hippie Uncle Tom. Also explored are his connection to the Black Power movement, how he electrified soul music black and white icon and made the electric guitar supplant the human voice, how he revolutionized the use of technology in popular music, black and white icon and how black his music really was. His sex appeal--especially for black women--is discussed, as are how he redefined rock fashion, why nobody was really mad at him for sleeping with white women (at the same time as Sammy Davis, Jr. was being harassed black and white icon and threatened for kissing a white woman onstage), black and white icon and how he was marketed as a white performer. Explained are the ways in which Hendrix subverted black and white icon and destabilized black masculine stereotypes, changing the way black music black and white icon and black identity are perceived.

Basketball, in particular, reflected the changing landscape. The NBA came to be dominated by young black men whose potent combination of fame black and white icon and wealth, often coupled with a defiance of white mores, profoundly disrupted the status quo. At the same time, hip hop music was emerging from the streets of New York City. An expression of black and white icon and a response to urban conditions, it served as a way of being heard when many other forces attempted to suffocate the black voice. It, too, aroused strong reactions. In Young, Black, Rich black and white icon and Famous , Todd Boyd chronicles how basketball black and white icon and hip hop have gone from being reviled by the American mainstream to being embraced black and white icon and imitated globally. For young black men, he argues, they represent a new version of the American dream, one that embodies the hopes black and white icon and desires of those excluded from the original version. Shedding light on both perceptions black and white icon and reality, Boyd shows that the NBA has been at the forefront of recognizing black and white icon and incorporating cultural shifts from the initial image of 1970s basketball players as overpaid black drug addicts, to Michael Jordan s spectacular rise as a universally admired icon, to the 1990s, when the hip hop aesthetic (for example, Allen Iverson s cornrows, multiple tattoos, black and white icon and defiant, in-your-face attitude) appeared on the basketball court.
