Lockstep and dance: Containment and resistance in African American men's lives and representations of them. - 260 p.

Adviser: Heather Zwicker.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 2001.

This dissertation is organized around the central thesis that, in the absence of one codified structure, the institution of slavery, which produced a subordinate population that could be controlled and exploited in the interest of preserving white Americans' place in the social, economic and political strata, the United States structured a carceral network to take its place. That carceral network consists of actual penitentiaries as well as other, less-obvious disciplinary sites and mechanisms. The dissertation's theoretical framework is informed by Foucault's discussion of the Panopticon as the architectural metaphor for a disciplined society. Each of the four chapters explores, on the one hand, the ways in which particular sites and mechanisms are shaped by hegemonic images of Black masculinity, and on the other hand, the ways that Black men contest the containment wrought by the ways that white America mobilizes such images. Chapter One investigates a dynamic of containment, performance, and resistance vis-à-vis Louis Althusser's models of Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses and the complimentary theory that John Edgar Wideman develops in his non-fictional narrative <italic> Brothers and Keepers</italic> (1984). Chapter Two looks at African American men's use of rap music as it pertains to the making of effective histories. Chapter Three locates contemporary representations of Black male athletes in relation to white lore cycles generally, and blackface minstrelsy and lynching rituals specifically. The fourth and final chapter examines the ways in which Black men employ memory and storytelling to ‘get over’ in their day-to-day lives. Finally, the conclusion brings together unresolved questions to gesture toward a critical approach that stands to enrich future studies of Black men's lives and cultural productions.
