The Funk Movement : Music, Culture, and Politics
The Funk Movement - Book - by Reiland Rabaka
(2024)
Rabaka explores funk as a distinct multiform of music, aesthetics,
politics, social vision, and cultural rebellion that has been remixed,
and continues to influence contemporary Black popular music and Black
popular culture, especially rap music and the Hip Hop Movement. The
Funk Movement was a sub movement within the larger Black Power Movement
and its artistic arm, the Black Arts Movement. Moreover, the Funk
Movement was also a sub movement within the Black Women’s Liberation
Movement between the late 1960s and late 1970s, where women’s funk,
especially Chaka Khan and Betty Davis’s funk, was understood to be a
form of “Black musical feminism” that was as integral to the movement as
was the Black political feminism of Angela Davis or the Combahee River
Collective and the Black literary feminism of Toni Morrison or Alice
Walker.
This book also demonstrates that more than any other
post-war Black popular music genre, the funk music of the 1960s and
1970s laid the foundation for the mercurial rise of rap music and the
Hip Hop Movement in the 1980s and 1990s. This book is primarily aimed
at scholars and students working in popular music studies, popular
culture studies, American studies, African American studies, cultural
studies, ethnic studies, critical race studies, women’s studies, gender
studies, and sexuality studies.
