Isaac Hayes provides a vital public figure through which scholars can analyze, evaluate, and more fully understand the comprehensive nature of the black freedom struggle as it progressed into the 1970s. Hayes merged the integrationist political objectives of mainstream civil rights organizations and leaders with the notions of racial pride, assertiveness, and autonomy that characterized the popular appeal of the black power movement. Hayes, through his “Black Moses” persona and LP of the same name, moved those freedom struggle promises and opportunities into the cultural realm, where he personified African American artistic self-determination. In doing so, he demonstrated that the contemporary conceptualization of black masculinity was not monolithic, as Hayes introduced and embodied an ideal that countered the prevailing notion of black manhood which pervaded popular culture and remains a central component of popular memory concerning black power. Most importantly, Isaac Hayes embodied a model of black masculinity that contradicted the prevailing “black macho” ideal. “Black Moses,” therefore, embodied the freedom of African Americans to move beyond contemporary racial classifications in a cultural capacity and presents scholars with an intriguing model through which to examine the evolution, possibilities, and accomplishments of the post-1960s American black freedom struggle.

“黑人男子气概的缩影”：艾萨克·海耶斯、黑人摩西和长期的自由斗争

艾萨克·海耶斯（Isaac Hayes）提供了一个重要的公众人物，学者们可以通过它分析、评估和更全面地了解黑人自由斗争在 1970 年代的全面性质。海耶斯将主流民权组织和领导人的一体化政治目标与种族自豪感、自信和自治的概念结合在一起，这些概念是黑人权力运动的普遍吸引力。海耶斯通过他的“黑摩西”角色和同名唱片，将那些自由斗争的承诺和机会带入了文化领域，在那里他将非裔美国人的艺术自决人格化了。在这样做的过程中，他证明了当代黑人男子气概的概念化并不是单一的，正如海耶斯介绍并体现了一种理想，这种理想与流行文化中普遍存在的黑人男子气概概念相反，并且仍然是有关黑人权力的流行记忆的核心组成部分。最重要的是，艾萨克·海耶斯体现了一种与流行的“黑人男子气概”理想相矛盾的黑人男子气概。因此，“黑人摩西”体现了非裔美国人在文化能力上超越当代种族分类的自由，并为学者们提供了一个有趣的模式，通过这个模式来审视 1960 年代后美国黑人自由斗争的演变、可能性和成就. 艾萨克海耶斯体现了一种与流行的“黑人男子气概”理想相矛盾的黑人男子气概。因此，“黑人摩西”体现了非裔美国人在文化能力上超越当代种族分类的自由，并为学者们提供了一个有趣的模式，通过这个模式来审视 1960 年代后美国黑人自由斗争的演变、可能性和成就. 艾萨克海耶斯体现了一种与流行的“黑人男子气概”理想相矛盾的黑人男子气概。因此，“黑人摩西”体现了非裔美国人在文化能力上超越当代种族分类的自由，并为学者们提供了一个有趣的模式，通过这个模式来审视 1960 年代后美国黑人自由斗争的演变、可能性和成就.
