ResumoThis article reports the findings of a pilot study of a single African-American situation comedy, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, among a small number of young viewers in the nation of Kuwait. It is intended as a first step toward investigating the popularity of black and African-American youth styles among young people from various parts of the globe, and the conclusions that the author reaches are intended to be suggestive rather than definitive. Throughout the article, the author focuses on questions that his research has raised about the pleasures and meanings that these young people derive from the series, and how the series might be implicated in the expression of distinct ethnic, generational and gender identities.
