dc.descriptionIn his useful characterization of the contemporary racial milieu, Keith Byerman articulates how a dialectic of racism and racelessness informs the cultural works of African Americans. Contemporary black cultural producers battle to maintain the signifi cance of race to American life, at the same time that they must critique representations and conditions that are thought to have little or no impact on black lives.2 These cultural producers speak to many issues, including social desires to “be beyond race;” the backlash against affi rmative action; the increasing globalization of the economy, which has led to a marked decrease in low-skilled jobs that have historically fed the black middle class; the gentrifi cation of largely black inner-city areas with little affordable alternative housing; an increase in federal prisons, in which blacks are incredibly overrepresented; and harsher laws such as the 3 Strike Rule designed to keep blacks in the prison system.-
