This book explores how Bruno Mars draws on his mixed cultural, ethnic, and racial background in his music and performance to create "new music nostalgia." The complexity of the celebrity's racial identity informs his performative politics of blackness and forms the basis for a reconceptualization of race and a reimagining of the future.
