Deathlife

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of hip hop and Black identity, Anthony B. Pinn delves into how Blackness shapes perceptions of life and death in the U.S. He argues that white supremacy creates a clear distinction between life and death, using Blackness as a means to maintain this divide. By analyzing artists like Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar, Pinn illustrates how hip hop blurs the lines between life and death, offering a counter-narrative to white supremacist views of Blackness and challenging conventional understandings of anti-Blackness.
