An electrifying collection of essays from legendary cultural critic and Pulitzer Prize-winner Greg Tate
These pieces orbit social, pop cultural, political, and economic subjects― from the rise of hip-hop, the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the music of Miles Davis, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Bad Brains, and many others, to the crisis of the Black intellectual and the irony of the GOP recruiting Black Americans. With unrivalled flair, Tate writes in a voice that is at once angry, joyous, self-critiquing, and dazzlingly witty.
