Through an interdisciplinary approach, it delves into how these streets have influenced contemporary views on black identity, community dynamics, violence, consumer behavior, and a sense of belonging. By integrating insights from various fields, the author highlights the complex relationship between societal structures and the lived experiences of black individuals.
