'Jeff Chang has chronicled contemporary American experiences of arts, culture, race, and politics in books like
Can’t Stop Won’t Stop, his history of hip-hop, and
Who We Be: A Cultural History of Race in Post-Civil Rights America. As director of the Institute for Diversity in the Arts at Stanford and the co-founder of CultureSt/ke and ColorLines, he is at the forefront of these issues as they affect our arts and culture. In his newest book,
We Gon’ Be Alright: Notes on Race and Resegregation
(out 9/13), Chang examines recent tragedies and protests and “some of the ways we have slid back toward segregation…in our neighborhoods and schools, our colleges and universities, even in the culture.” Chang is in conversation with
Washington Post columnist and MSNBC contributor
Jonathan Capehart.'
