HOLLER
IF YOU HEAR ME By Michael Eric Dyson In Holler if You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur, Michael Eric Dyson helps us to understand why a 25-year-old rapper, activist, poet and actor looms even larger in death than he did in life. With his trademark skills of critical thinking and storytelling, Dyson examines Tupac's hold on black youth, assessing the ways in which different elements of his persona – thug, confused prophet, fatherless child – are both vital and destructive. At once deeply personal and sharply analytical, this book offers a wholly original way of looking at Tupac Shakur that will thrill those who already love the artist, and enlighten those who want to understand him. 224 pages / 55 b+w photos / 230 x 150mm ISBN 0 85965 322 6 ISBN13 978 0 85965 322 0 Paperback / UK £12.99 / NO US RIGHTS |
