Jay-Z : Made in America
Jay-Z - Book - by Michael Eric Dyson
(2019)
"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." --QuestloveJAY-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.
