Hard cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. In Very Good+ condition and Very Good+ dustjacket. An essential volume on the history of hip hop, and its importance to American culture. Intro by Jay Z, outro by Nas. Whether along race, class or generational lines, hip-hop music has been a source of controversy since the beats got too big and the voices too loud for the block parties that spawned them. America has condemned and commended this music and the culture that inspires it. Dubbed the Hip-Hop Intellectual by critics and fans for his pioneering explorations of rap music in the academy and beyond, Michael Eric Dyson is uniquely situated to probe the most compelling and controversial dimensions of hip-hop culture. Know What I Mean? addresses salient issues within hip hop: the creative expression of degraded youth that has garnered them global exposure; the vexed gender relations that have made rap music a lightning rod for pundits; the commercial explosion that has made an art form a victim of its success; the political elements that have been submerged in the most popular form of hip hop; and the intellectual engagement with some of hip hops most influential figures. In spite of changing trends, both in the music industry and among the intelligentsia, Dyson has always supported and interpreted this art that bloomed unwatered, and in many cases, unwanted from our inner cities. For those who wondered what all the fuss is about in hip hop, Dyson's bracing and brilliant book breaks it all down. Michael Eric Dyson (born October 23, 1958) is an American academic, author, ordained minister, and radio host. He is a professor in the College of Arts and Science and in the Divinity School at Vanderbilt University. Described by Michael A. Fletcher as "a Princeton Ph.D. and a child of the streets who takes pains never to separate the two", Dyson has authored or edited more than twenty books dealing with subjects such as Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Marvin Gaye, Barack Obama, Nas's debut album Illmatic, Bill Cosby, Tupac Shakur and Hurricane Katrina.…

Octavo, tan cloth (hardcover), red letters, xiv, 109 pp. Very Good, with light foxing (age darkened spotting) in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Few regions in America can boast a heritage to match that of the Hudson River Valley. Blessed with great natural beauty, the Valley has been host to explorers and colonists, soldiers and statesmen, inventors and artists for more than three centuries. These men have stamped the mark of history into the rolling countryside that straddles the Hudson. They have left us a heritage worth preserving. In this book, John Dyson takes his readers on an exploration of this unique region. A brief and readable history of the Hudson sets the stage for two fascinating "Heritage Tours" -- one of the East Bank, one of the West Bank, that any family will enjoy making by automobile. The tours cover all the famous landmarks of the Mid-Hudson area, and many less-well-known places, as well. Finally, as one who is deeply concerned with historic preservation, Mr. Dyson offers an imaginative program for renewing and protecting the historic sites of the Mid-Hudson region. This is a book to be treasured by all those with an eye for beauty and a feeling for history. New York, American History, U. S.

Octavo, softbound (stiff, black & white photo. illustrated cream wrappers), 109 pp. Near Fine. Illustrated with numerous black & white photographs. From Foreword: I have written this small volume because history has a special use for me. It provides perspective on our country and on ourselves. In these times of turmoil and torment, it is well to remember our nation's long journey down the road to freedom and growth. Many, especially the young, too readily forget, or perhaps never knew of, the progress that our people have made since coming to settle on this continent. Many also forget that painful process of evolution from a fledgling group of colonies yearning to be set free from the spirit-crushing restrictions on worship and political belief prevailing in Europe. Today, I sense a frustration among the young which sometimes becomes desperation, violent outbursts against the world and this nation. They would be heartened, I believe, if they knew of and could visualize the battles of our forefathers. Battles for freedom were fought in Massachusetts, in Virginia, and in our New York, here in the Hudson Valley. The young would be encouraged by the flow of our history, by the momentum of our democratic goverment. The original root of liberty planted so long ago by the Founding Fathers has grown into a great branched tree. Some of the branches rub and chafe against others, as is natural. But the tree is more stately and more nearly perfect for the actions of each generation. New York, American History, U. S.
