"Who We Be: A Cultural History of Race in Post-Civil Rights America" is a book by Jeff Chang that explores the evolution of race relations in the United States following the Civil Rights Movement. It examines how cultural expressions, such as art, music, and literature, reflect and shape societal attitudes toward race.
The book delves into significant events and movements, including the rise of multiculturalism and the impact of hip-hop culture. Chang analyzes how these cultural shifts influence perceptions of identity and belonging, ultimately contributing to the ongoing dialogue about race in contemporary America.
