The book explores the commodification of black culture, highlighting how it has been transformed into a marketable product primarily benefiting white-owned corporations. Through in-depth analyses of Motown, Michael Jackson, and Prince, the author argues that emphasizing this commodified culture could hinder efforts toward achieving racial justice. Cashmore's provocative insights challenge prevailing narratives about the cultural significance of black artistry in the commercial landscape.
