Leben und Tod einer Legende Er war der beste Rapper der Welt. Hat Millionen von Platten verkauft. Mit Drogen gehandelt. Im Gefängnis gesessen. Und wurde Opfer eines Attentats, dessen Hintergründe bis heute ungeklärt sind. Die Faszination von Tupac Shakur, der als 2pac Musikgeschichte geschrieben hat, ist auch Jahrzehnte nach seiner Ermordung ungebrochen. Seine posthum veröffentlichten Alben, Gedichte und Filme haben ihn zu einer Legende werden lassen. In seiner Biografie begibt sich Michael Eric Dyson, einer der wichtigsten schwarzen Stimmen in den USA, auf Spurensuche. Lässt ehemalige Weggefährten wie Snoop Dogg ebenso zu Wort kommen wie Tupacs geliebte Mutter, die Black-Panther-Aktivistin Afeni Shakur. Dieses Buch ist mehr als eine Musikerbiografie.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Tears We Cannot StopFor more than thirty years, Michael Eric Dyson has played a prominent role in the nation as a public intellectual, university professor, cultural critic, social activist and ordained Baptist minister. He has presented a rich and resourceful set of ideas about American history and culture. Now for the first time he brings together the various components of his multihued identity and eclectic pursuits. Entertaining Race is a testament to Dyson’s consistent celebration of the outsized impact of African American culture and politics on this country. Black people were forced to entertain white people in slavery, have been forced to entertain the idea of race from the start, and must find entertaining ways to make race an object of national conversation. Dyson’s career embodies these and other ways of performing Blackness, and in these pages, he entertains race with his pen, voice and body, and occasionally, alongside luminaries like Cornel West, David Blight, Ibram X. Kendi, Master P, MC Lyte, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Alicia Garza, John McWhorter, and Jordan Peterson.Most of this work will be new to readers, a fresh light for many of his long-time fans and an inspiring introduction for newcomers.

"Dyson's incisive analysis of JAY-Z's brilliance not only offers a brief history of hip-hop's critical place in American culture but also hints at how we can best move forward." —Questlove JAY-Z: Made in America is the fruit of Michael Eric Dyson’s decade of teaching the work of one of the greatest poets this nation has produced, as gifted a wordsmith as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Rita Dove. But as a rapper, he’s sometimes not given the credit he deserves for just how great an artist he’s been for so long. This book wrestles with the biggest themes of JAY-Z's career, including hustling, and it recognizes the way that he’s always weaved politics into his music, making important statements about race, criminal justice, black wealth and social injustice. As he enters his fifties, and to mark his thirty years as a recording artist, this is the perfect time to take a look at JAY-Z’s career and his role in making this nation what it is today. In many ways, this is JAY-Z’s America as much as it’s Pelosi’s America, or Trump’s America, or Martin Luther King’s America. JAY-Z has given this country a language to think with and words to live by.

Die Grundlagen unseres Wissens und unserer Meinungen bestimmen unser Denken und Handeln, doch die westliche Zivilisation steht vor Herausforderungen, die sich vehement zuspitzen: den Differenzen zwischen den Geschlechtern (#MeToo), den Ethnien, den Religionen, den politischen und ökonomischen Extremen. Wie offen kann oder muss über soziale Konflikte gesprochen werden, warum gibt es Tabus? Diese angeheizte Diskussion über Political Correctness erhellt die Problemstellungen, sie differenziert und gibt Antworten. Eine aufregende Debatte, die 2018 in Toronto im Rahmen der Munk Debates (internationales Podium für zeitgeschichtliche Diskussionen) stattgefunden hat und durch die dezidierten Positionen der Beteiligten die eigene Meinungsbildung forciert.

Examines the events surrounding the 1963 meeting between Robert F. Kennedy and James Baldwin in New York City, as well as its impact on race relations in the United States from then to now.

‘Without free speech there is no true thought.’ –Jordan Peterson‘You’re telling me I’m being sensitive, and students looking for safe spaces that they’re being hypersensitive. If you’re white, this country is one giant safe space.’–Michael Eric DysonIs political correctness an enemy of free speech, open debate and the free exchange of ideas? Or is it a progressive force, eroding the dominant power relationships and social norms that exclude marginalised groups from society?

Fifty years ago Malcolm X told a White woman who asked what she could do for the cause, 'Nothing.' Michael Eric Dyson believes he was wrong. Now he responds to that question. If society is to make real racial progress, people must face difficult truths, including being honest about how Black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, or discounted.
