Description
Flyboy 2: The Greg Tate Reader offers a comprehensive overview of the influential work of critic and writer Greg Tate over the past thirty years. Through his reviews, interviews, and analyses, Tate provides insightful commentary on contemporary Black music, art, literature, film, and politics.
From discussions of visual artist Kara Walker to an examination of the ties between Afro-futurism, Black feminism, and social movements, Tate's work demonstrates how race, gender, and class intersect in American popular culture. This collection showcases Tate's unique blend of vernacular poetics and cultural theory, highlighting the significance of visionary Black artists, intellectuals, aesthetics, philosophies, and politics to twenty-first-century America.
