Nearly 15 years ago, Chang published Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation. He’s published three books since then. He joined us in 2015, to talk about Who We Be: A Cultural History of Race in Post-Civil Rights America.
Jeff Chang returns to Bullseye for his latest project, We Gon’ Be Alright. It was a book back in 2016, and it’s a follow up to Who We Be. Recently, We Gon’ Be Alright was turned into a web series by Indie Lens Spotlight.
The series deals with some really tough questions with no easy answer. The current state of racism since Trump became President. Where Asian Americans fall when it comes to discrimination. How bigotry plays out even within the same race.
He wanted to talk about big topics like racial segregation in housing, entertainment and education. It’s a look at the state of race relations in America today. And, what he’d like to see people do about it.
