Black Literary and Cultural Expressions - Bogserien

In recent times, the vibrant nature of Black creativity is pulsating through global cultures. Whether it is the roaring success of the utopian fictionalization of Africa in Black Panther or Beyonce’s acclaimed Black is King, Black/African/Diaspora literature making its way into the reading lists of people across the globe, African cinema/Nollywood’s global travels, or the increasingly-growing popularity of Afrobeats on the world stage, this is an exciting time for Black culture. With all of these interests in Black literature, music, film, art, etc., comes the necessity of an academic series that offers a forum for new works on the theoretical perspectives of these burgeoning expressions of Black literature and culture.

Bloomsbury’s Black Literary and Cultural Expressions series provides a much-needed space for exploring dimensions of Black creativity as its local expressions interface with the global circulation of culture. From contemporary and historical perspectives, and through a multidisciplinary lens, works in this series critically analyze the provenance, genres, aesthetics, intersections, and modes of circulation of works of Black cultural expression and production.
