"For more than thrity years, Michael Eric Dyson has played a prominent role in the nation as a public intellectual, university professor, cultural critic, social activist, and ordained Baptist minister. Now, for the first time, he brings all the different facets of his identity and pursuits together in one dazzling collection. Entertaining Race is a testament to Dyson's consistent celebration of the outsized impact of African American culture and politics on this country. Black people were forced to entertain white people in slavery, have been forced to entertain the idea of race from the start, and must find entertaining ways to make race an object of national conversation. Dyson's career embodies these and other ways of performing Blackness. These pages, moving from 1991 to the present, showcase his range of roles and feature as well his conversations with prominent thinkers, including Ibram X. Kendi, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Alicia Garza, and Jordan Peterson."--,Provided by publisher.
