 \n.......................................................................................................................\nJeff 
 Chang's first book was the highly acclaimed, award-winning Can't Stop Won't 
 Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation, memorably hailed as "the funky, 
 bootleg, B-side remix of late-20th century American history" by Time 
 Magazine.  \n\nWho We Be: The Colorization of America is an essential 
 chronicle of the past five decades of American cultural history in which 
 Jeff reveals exactly how the rise of Hip-Hop impacted today's cultural 
 politics, how Americans now view race, and how that view has changed over 
 the past five decades. In a  narrative that moves from the 1963 March on 
 Washington through the Obama election to the aftermath of the George 
 Zimmerman trial, Jeff examines the role of artists in culturally 
 desegregating America, including the multiculturalism movement.  While many 
 viewed Obama's election as proof we had moved beyond race, Who We Be shows 
 the full paradox of the "post-racial era,"  including the darker tones of 
 political debates reflecting deep pessimism, and social indexes showing 
 rising rates of resegregation in housing and schooling.\n\nCurrently 
 Executive Director of the Institute for Diversity in the Arts at Stanford 
 University, Jeff is continuing his long career specializing in culture, 
 politics, the arts and music. \n\nBesides editing the book, Total Chaos: 
 The Art and Aesthetics of Hip-Hop, Jeff co-founded CultureStr/ke and 
 ColorLines. He was a Senior Editor/Director at Russell Simmons' 
 360hiphop.com. \n\nDavey D is the Host of Hard Knock Radio (airing on KPFA 
 94.1fm weekdays at 4pm) and Adjunct  Professor, Afrostudies Dept, S.F.St\n
