Abstract
Richard Iton's In Search of the Black Fantastic: Popular Culture in the Post-Civil Rights Era (2008) is one of the most important texts to examine post–Civil Rights black political and popular culture. This article uses Iton's paradigm for examining the enduring relationship between black political and popular culture and extends it in order to analyze the continuities through the political economy and cultural production of marriage in the United States. With In Search of the Black Fantastic as a foundational text, I reveal how African American political identity is increasingly defined by marriage.
