"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." --Saidiya Hartman "Carby disrupts fixed notions of racial identity that contort our understanding of Britain's colonial and postcolonial history." --Paul Gilroy, author of Darker Than Blue and The Black Atlantic "Hazel Carby is a foundational scholar of race, class, and empire as critical lenses for understanding culture." --Elizabeth Alexander, author of The Light of the World and American Sublime

Synopsis
For a decade and a half, since she first appeared in the Birmingham Centre.s collective volume The Empire Strikes Back , Hazel Carby has been on the frontline of the debate over multicultural education in Britain and the US. 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. Carby.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, Culture in Babylon will become a standard reference point in future debates over race, ethnicity and gender., For a decade and a half, since she first appeared in the Birmingham Centre's collective volume The Empire Strikes Back , Hazel Carby has been on the frontline of the debate over multicultural education in Britain and the US.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (1,095)
- 3***6 (111)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe mail service absolutely ravaged the top binding corner of the book, which really was a disappointment. It’s not your fault as a seller, but please consider that a book in a snug envelope is very unsafe rather than a slightly larger envelope of the same strength. It’s not going to affect your rating. I will say nothing. But please consider this in the future- Post is treated poorly and customer service is poor with mail, so it’s necessary to ship properly, especially if you sell books. :)Pistis Sophia: The Gnostic Tradition of Mary Magdalene, Jesus, and His Disciples (#116542842875)
