  • The term post-soul was coined by Nelson George in a 1992 Village Voice feature article, "Buppies, B-boys, BAPS, and Bohos." The article contained a chronology of significant shifts in African-American culture since the 1970s, exemplified by Melvin Van Peebles, Muhammad Ali, Stevie Wonder, and James Brown. In 2005, George reworked his chronology in a book entitled . Unlike the wider scope of George's original Village Voice article, Post-Soul Nation focuses on the 1980s to describe a series of political, social, and cultural shifts which helped reshape the African-American experience in the United States after the civil-rights era. Post-soul opposes the soul era, emphasizing the effects of civil rights-era advancements. The soul era, like the civil rights movement, emphasized a unified black identity and experience. In contrast, the post-soul era recognized many expressions of blackness related to individuality, sexuality, gender, and class. These diverse expressions contributed to the formation of a new black aesthetic, a term coined by scholar Trey Ellis. The post-soul era defined a period in which black visibility was rapidly expanding; however, lower-class black communities did not have the same opportunities as the emerging black middle class. (en)
