Annotation

Delineating three Afrocentric agency communicative artifacts, generated during the first decade of the 21st century, this study employs political speeches from Barack Obama and Eric Holder, dramatic texts from August Wilson, and M.K. Asante Jr.'s 'art of documentary', to counter the post-2008 myths of U.S. post-racialism, following the nation's first Black president election.
