Reviews
"Offers razor-sharp insights into American history, politics, and art. This is a feast of insights." -- Publisher's Weekly (Starred) "A thoughtful, elegantly argued contribution to the literature of Black lives in America." -- Kirkus (Starred) "Dyson's essays and writings address a rich assortment of thought-provoking topics... an expansive and accessible overview of the inquiries of an important social and cultural thinker." -- Booklist "In this extensive and thorough journey, Dyson continues to amaze and amuse on topics surrounding African American roles in entertainment. A thought-provoking vision from one of our country's national treasures." -- Detroit Free Press "Michael Eric Dyson has been a lodestar for my generation: a brilliant intellectual whose accessible scholarship bridges the university and popular culture... Entertaining Race is a true gift to our culture." -- Candace Parker, WNBA champion, 2x WNBA MVP "For over a quarter century, Michael Eric Dyson has wrestled with critical race theory as a professor, analyzed racial injustice as a social critic, preached a progressive vision of Christianity as a preacher, and engaged in principled resistance as a social activist. Entertaining Race is a compelling and timely meditation on some of the most important issues of our time." -- Kimberlé Crenshaw, Executive Director of the African American Policy Forum " Entertaining Race captures the same brilliance and passion for performance that not only motivates Dyson to observe, but which inspires him to perform at a high level on many stages himself as a thinker, writer, lecturer, preacher, speaker and activist. This is vintage Dyson." -- Audra McDonald, Tony, Grammy and Emmy award winning actress and singer "With Entertaining Race Dyson lifts the veil of what's really going on in our society -- the good and the bad, but he manages to do that in a very compelling way." -- Bryan Cranston, Oscar-nominated actor and winner of Golden Globe, Tony and SAG Awards "In the tradition of Dr. King -- the greatest American preacher and public intellectual -- Dr. Dyson summons the best in the American spirit, diagnosing the sickness that divides us while employing head, heart and hands to both call forth and construct a moral vision of 'beloved community.'" -- Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock, "Dyson turns a gimlet eye on the stereotypes and authentic expressions of Black self-presentation...A thoughtful, elegantly argued contribution to the literature of Black lives in America." -- Kirkus "Michael Eric Dyson has been a lodestar for my generation: a brilliant intellectual whose accessible scholarship bridges the university and popular culture... Entertaining Race is a true gift to our culture." -- Candace Parker, WNBA champion, 2x WNBA MVP "For over a quarter century, Michael Eric Dyson has been one of the most visible and impactful public intellectuals in the nation. He has wrestled with critical race theory as a professor, analyzed racial injustice as a social critic, preached a progressive vision of Christianity as a preacher, and engaged in principled resistance as a social activist. Entertaining Race is a compelling and timely meditation on some of the most important issues of our time ." -- Kimberlé Crenshaw, Executive Director of the African American Policy Forum "Michael Eric Dyson has sat attentively in the audience of several of my appearances, and he is keenly aware of the nuances and complexities of theatre and concerts alike. I have talked with him on many such occasions, and the depth of his knowledge of our art is striking. Entertaining Race captures the same brilliance and passion for performance that not only motivates Dyson to observe, but which inspires him to perform at a high level on many stages himself as a thinker, writer, lecturer, preacher, speaker and activist. This is vintage Dyson." -- Audra McDonald, Tony, Grammy and Emmy award winning actress and singer "I've come to rely on Michael Eric Dyson's expertise in race, politics, and religion, because I know his personal integrity demands accuracy, but also, he's able to put things in comprehendible context and historical perspective. With Entertaining Race he lifts the veil of what's really going on in our society - the good and the bad, but he manages to do that in a very compelling way. " -- Bryan Cranston, Oscar-nominated actor and winner of Golden Globe, Tony and SAG Awards "I have known Michael Eric Dyson for nearly 20 years. I have heard him speak many times and been mesmerized by his oratorical magic; I have read his work and been equally impressed by his intellectual brilliance . Entertaining Race is a splendid way to spend quality time reading one of the most remarkable thinkers in America today." -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi "I have known Michael Eric Dyson for more than a quarter of a century. In that time, he has emerged as a formidable figure and singular force in the grand tradition of the public intellectual in American life. Like many, I have invited his principled interlocution, welcoming him on more than one occasion to preach at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where I serve and Martin Luther King, Jr. preached. In the tradition of Dr. King?the greatest American preacher and public intellectual-- Dr. Dyson summons the best in the American spirit, diagnosing the sickness that divides us while employing head, heart and hands to both call forth and construct a moral vision of 'beloved community.' " -- Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock, "Dyson's essays and writings address a rich assortment of thought-provoking topics. ... [Entertaining Race] offers an expansive and accessible overview of the inquiries of an important social and cultural thinker." -- Booklist "Wide-ranging and artfully conceived... Throughout, Dyson maintains a firm grip on the cultural moment and offers razor-sharp insights into American history, politics, and art.

Synopsis
One of Kirkus Review's Best Books About Being Black in America On Detroit Free Press ' Holiday Book Gift List "Dyson's work clearly comes from a deep well of love--for his country, for his people and for the intellectual and cultural figures he admires." -- New York Times " Entertaining Race is a splendid way to spend quality time reading one of the most remarkable thinkers in America today." -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi "To read Entertaining Race is to encounter the life-long vocation of a teacher who preaches, a preacher who teaches and an activist who cannot rest until all are set free." -- Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock For more than thirty years, Michael Eric Dyson has played a prominent role in the nation as a public intellectual, university professor, cultural critic, social activist and ordained Baptist minister. He has presented a rich and resourceful set of ideas about American history and culture. Now for the first time he brings together the various components of his multihued identity and eclectic pursuits. Entertaining Race is a testament to Dyson's consistent celebration of the outsized impact of African American culture and politics on this country. Black people were forced to entertain white people in slavery, have been forced to entertain the idea of race from the start, and must find entertaining ways to make race an object of national conversation. Dyson's career embodies these and other ways of performing Blackness, and in these pages, ranging from 1991 to the present, he entertains race with his pen, voice and body, and occasionally, alongside luminaries like Cornel West, David Blight, Ibram X. Kendi, Master P, MC Lyte, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Alicia Garza, John McWhorter, and Jordan Peterson. Most of this work will be new to readers, a fresh light for many of his long-time fans and an inspiring introduction for newcomers. Entertaining Race offers a compelling vision from the mind and heart of one of America's most important and enduring voices.

- i***u (142)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufNo trouble with seller but I bought this book and two others that comprise the series, all from separate used book sellers on eBay, all at the same time. All shipped separately, all were somehow held at the post office, supposedly according to my request (which I never gave--these are under $5 paperbacks, just leave them on the porch!!), and only notification I got was "delivery attempted." I've had one refund already--not wanted--and now I have all the books. Pain in the ass thanks to USPS.
