Africana Race and Communication: A Social Study of Film, Communication, and Social Media focuses on the areas of History, Ethos, Motif, and Mythology-Philosophy. This study is an interdisciplinary study, which surveys the collection, interpretation, and analysis of Black communication and culture. Likewise, the intellectual dexterity of Africana Studies as an interdisciplinary body of knowledge postures alternative ways of probing Africana phenomena. This volume provides a categorical lens matrix of Africana Studies to locate race and communication in place, space, and time. Thus, it provides readers with a compilation of literary, historical, philosophical, and communicative essays that attempt to describe and evaluate the Africana experience from a centered perspective.
The new book by James. L. Conyers, Jr. on Africana Race and Communication: A Social Study of Film, Communication, and Social Media speaks to the diverse and multileveled experiences of African Americans in social media. This is a timely and fascinating book that will be useful in numerous classes on black communication, the sociology of communication, and race and social media.
