Since launching his career at the Village Voice in the early 1980s Greg Tate has been one of the premiere critical voices on contemporary Black music; art; literature; film; and politics. Flyboy 2 provides a panoramic view of the past thirty years of Tates influential work. Whether interviewing Miles Davis or Ice Cube; reviewing an Azealia Banks mixtape or Suzan-Lori Parkss Topdog/Underdog; discussing visual artist Kara Walker or writer Clarence Major; or analyzing the ties between Afro-futurism; Black feminism; and social movements; Tates resounding critical insights illustrate how race; gender; and class become manifest in American popular culture. Above all; Tate demonstrates through his signature mix of vernacular poetics and cultural theory and criticism why visionary Black artists; intellectuals; aesthetics; philosophies; and politics matter to twenty-first-century America.

Review
11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. microscopic printBy WizdumHad this book on my wish list for sometime. Wish I would have remembered the review about the tiny pale print when I finally ordered it. If you are very young with 20/20 vision. you probably wont mind. I want to read it. but probably will have to buy a magnifier and sit in sunlight to read. I am disappointed. Would like to read this book I bought and is not the cheapest book out there either. The publisher needs to revise this and reprint. If the teeny print was darker it would help. Really disappointed as I was looking forward to this as I had bought a previous book of this authors which I enjoyed.1 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
