Here, collected for the first time, are interviews and essays representing Michael Eric Dyson’s most important thinking on race and identity. Exploring such topics as “whiteness” as seen through a black man’s eye, modernism and postmodernism in black culture, and the emancipating role of black music from the plantation to the ghetto, Open Mike is a perfect introduction to Dyson’s work and a must-have for students and scholars in African American Studies and Cultural Studies.
