AlbakiReads Editorial

Examining the boundaries of cultural exchange

Using examples from celebrity social media, fashion, and Halloween costumes, this volume introduces the debate over cultural appropriation. Its central question is where appreciation ends and appropriation begins, with viewpoints addressing how imitation can affect communities with less power and privilege. The book also considers how people can draw inspiration from another culture without causing offense. As a young adult nonfiction collection, it frames the subject through multiple perspectives rather than presenting it as a single, settled definition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults exploring questions of culture and social power
  • Readers interested in sociology and contemporary cultural debates

Book overview

A white celebrity boasts dreadlocks in an Instagram post. Fashion models strut down a runway wearing Native American headdresses. A fraternity brother dons blackface as part of his Halloween costume. What do these things have in common? They are acts of cultural appropriation, the oftentimes innocent but nonetheless offensive practice of emulating the culture of a people with less power and privilege. When does appreciation cross the line to become appropriation? The viewpoints in this volume address what constitutes cultural appropriation, how it hurts those it seeks to celebrate, and how to be inspired by a culture without insulting it.
