Summary:
"Race. A four-letter word. The greatest social divide in American life, a half-century ago and today. During that time, the U.S. has seen the most dramatic demographic and cultural shifts in its history, what can be called the
colorization
of
America
. But the same nation that elected its first Black president on a wave of hope--another four-letter word--is still plunged into endless culture wars. How do Americans see race now? After eras framed by words like 'multicultural' and 'post-racial,' do
we
see each other any more clearly?
Who
We
Be remixes comic strips and contemporary art, campus protests and corporate marketing campaigns, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Trayvon Martin into a powerful, unusual, and timely cultural history of the idea of racial progress. A follow-up to the author's Can't Stop Won't Stop : A History of the Hip-Hop Generation"--From publisher.
