Book excerpt: This four-volume encyclopedia contains compelling and comprehensive information on African American popular culture that will be valuable to high school students and undergraduates, college instructors, researchers, and general readers.

Each entry includes historical and current information to provide a meaningful background for the topic and the perspective to appreciate its significance in a modern context.
