Tricia Rose - Hip-Hop, Sexuality, and Black Culture in America
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007
Tricia Rose, Professor of Africana Studies, Brown University - Aired 1/19/07
When Tricia Rose wrote her dissertation on hip-hop over ten years ago, academics warned her that the topic might be too obscure, a passing blip in music history. They sure turned out to be wrong. But hip-hop today is a very different thing than the culture that was born twenty years ago in the Bronx, and Tricia Rose calls for a resurgence in Black courage to face these changes. She also asks for courage in another one of her projects: documenting stories of Black female sexuality — stories that are too often oversimplified and layered in mythology.
