Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley |
One of America's most thought-provoking academics, lauded by
Cornel West as "the preeminent historian of black popular culture
writing today," Robin D. G. Kelley, Ph.D. is part of a
nationally prominent roster of interdisciplinary Africana experts at
Columbia University. Kelly has a reputation as a passionate and
engaging speaker with a wide-ranging intellect. A professor of
history and Africana studies, he has authored numerous books,
including Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great
Depression (University of North Carolina Press, 1990), Race
Rebels: Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class (The Free
Press, 1994), and Into the Fire: African Americans Since 1970
(Oxford University Press, 1996).
His collection of essays, Yo' Mama's DisFunktional!: Fighting
the Culture Wars in Urban America (Beacon Press, 1997), was
selected as one of the year's top ten books by the Village Voice.
His second collection of essays, Freedom Dreams: The Black
Radical Imagination (Beacon Press, 2002) continues Kelley's
ground-breaking analysis of black liberation struggles, jazz,
hip-hop, working class radicalism and U.S. and African-American
history. Books by Robin D. G. Kelley
