  The Art of Being Black explores how young black Britons create their cultural identities. Claire Alexander rejects the common tendency to view black communities in terms of conflict, or as the focus of a problem; her highly personal and readable study of work, social life, and gender roles in a group of young black men in London presents a new, richer view of black cultural identity.
