"Over forty years after its birth, hip-hop remains a vital pop cultural movement. What can it tell us about the changing nature of the city, about race, gender, and identity, and about the social and economic problems of our times? Why does it endure as a voice for youth around the world?

A prolific author, his most recent book is We Gon' Be Alright: Notes on Race and Resegregation. In 2014, he received the St. Clair Drake Teaching Award at Stanford University.
