Inhaltsangabe

"Nigger" is arguably the most divisive word in the history of the English language. But it is not just history, the word is very much alive today. Some say that it no longer serves its original purpose and, over the last 50 years, African Americans have commandeered the word and given it new meaning. This book analyzes that claim by surveying the different perspectives taken by black, cultural leaders in the past, as well as the process by which Hip Hop culture embraced the term. Readers will find a fresh new perspective on an old debate, but a debate that is still, very much, worth having.
