the entire history of rock and roll is a perfect illustration of cultural appopriation

In terms of the cultural appropriation of black culture by, for instance, white artists. So think about the history of black music and black people being denied economic opportunities that instead go to white appropriators. I mean, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the entire history of rock and roll is a perfect illustration of this concrete harm that happens around not just economics, but I would also say prestige, right? Because you name recognition and also the the financial benefits that come with that. So it does tie back to economics.

that is one way of unpacking rock n roll

Take the example of a white woman wearing box braids or another traditionally black hairstyle. She wouldn't necessarily be perpetuating harmful stereotypes, right? She could come back and say like, oh, I'm actually celebrating black culture

However to further the ar Nguyen and Strohl interpret cultural appropriation in the same way. It is a breach, not so much of personal intimacy, but of the collective intimacy that holds cultural groups together.gument She is appropriating something in a way that further entrenches her power as a privileged group while paradoxically trading off of the innovations of an oppressed group.
