Post-blackness as a contemporary attempt at redefi ning black identity

This article explores the dynamic changes in ways of perceiving race and identity in the complex, post-modern African-American culture. Gathered under the name of "post-blackness", some methods of an artistic representation of race were presented against the background of socio-political events of the last few years. The paper reconstructs the formations that allowed for the emergence of this term, such as black nationalism, womanism, as well as theories of race of the 1960’s and 1970’s.
