Art/Literary / black cultur
English term or phrase: posit
Within this framework,Johnson equates blackness with the rhythms of ragtime music in the urban north, highlighting the seminal role that music plays in the construction of community within the African-American experience. The narrator's acknowledgement in the closing moment of Johnson's novel, having chosen to pass as a white man-"I sometimes open a little box in which i still keep my fast yellowing manuscripts, the only tangible remnants of a vanished dream, i cannot repress the thought that, after all, I have chosen the lesser parts,that i have sold my birthright for a mess of pottage-further highlights the centrality of music in the formation and functions of community but also posits the black populart tradition as a nuanced site for economic and social sustenance within a post-Reconstruction urban landscape
