Race and Class Distinctions Within Black Communities

<p>This book offers both a philosophical and sociological model for understanding the constitution of identity in general and black social identity in particular without reverting to either a social or racial deterministic view of identity construction. Using a variant of structuration theory (phenomenological structuralism) this work against contemporary postmodern and post-structural theories seeks to offer a dialectical understanding of the constitution of black American and British life within the class division and social relations of production of the global capitalist world-system while accounting for black social agency. </p>
