Description of Buppies, B-boys, Baps, And Bohos: Notes On Post-soul Black Culture


In this new and expanded edition of Nelson George’s classic cultural study, contemporary black culture is chronicled through essays on music, film, sports, publishing, politics and city life, both uptown and down. Buppies enters nearly every arena of the black urban USA: roisterous rappers and legendary hoopsters, streetwise hustlers and influential filmmakers, unsung musicians and drug dealers at work.
