Product Information
Celebrated journalist, TV personality, and award-winning author Tour investigates one of the most enigmatic and fascinating figures in contemporary American culture: Prince. Celebrated journalist, TV personality, and award-winning author Tour investigates one of the most enigmatic and fascinating figures in contemporary American culture: PRINCE Drawing on new research and enlivened by Tour 's unique pop-cultural fluency, I Would Die 4 U relies on surprising and in-depth interviews with Prince's band members, former girlfriends, musicologists, and even Bible scholars to deconstruct the artist's life and work. Prince's baby boomer status allowed him to play a wise older brother to the latchkey kids of generation X. Defying traditional categories of race, gender, and sexuality, he nonetheless presents a very traditional conception of religion and God in his music. He was an MTV megastar and a religious evangelist, using images of sex and profanity to invite us into a musical conversation about the healing power of God. By demystifying the man and his music, I Would Die 4 U shows us how Prince defined a generation.

Praise for Who''s Afraid of Post-Blackness? : "Tour demolishes the notion that there is only one way to be racially authentic . . . funny, hip and current ." -Gwen Ifill, The Washington Post " One of the most acutely observed accounts of what it is like to be young, black, and middle-class in America .Tour inventively draws on a range of evidence . . . for a performancecarried through with unsparing honesty." --Orlando Patterson, The New York Times Book Review "[T]he ever provocative Tour boldly articulates the complicated issues of self and racial identity in the age of Obama." -- Vanity Fair "Apersonal and scholarly dissection of race issues in modern America. . .. With the help of an array of writers, performers, comedians, artistsand intellectuals, among others, the author attempts to reach aconsensus on what is typical or otherwise for African-Americans, as wellas what Black identity means in the modern era. Yet despite the chorus of voices, the most powerful voice belongs to Tour. Whilehis collected anecdotal evidence provides a necessary framework, hispersonal experiences with race ring loudest of all. A likely bellwetherfor America''s future struggles with race." -- Kirkus Reviews "Awelcome response to the ''self-appointed identity cops'' who would arrestand banish those they consider insufficiently black. Perceptivelyanalyze[s] a new sensibility in black art and culture to illustrate thecomplex and fluid racial identification Tour dubs ''post-blackness.''" -- San Francisco Chronicle "Tourcandidly tackles a burning issue confronting us today. Black America isundeniably a community ''free, but not equal,'' and people from all walksof life are compelled to devise new approaches to confronting today''sstructural inequalities. Here Tour explores insights from manyperspectives to help guide the way." --Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. " This book is quintessential Tour: smart, funny, irreverent, and provocative as hell. Rejecting old school racial dogma and new school myths aboutpost-raciality, he offers a powerful and original thesis on the statusof Blackness in the 21st century. Through his sharp analysis and honestreflections, Tour challenges us to embrace a more mature,sophisticated, and ultimately liberating notion of racial identity. Anyserious conversation on race and culture must begin with this book." --Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, Columbia University Professor and host of "Our World With Black Enterprise" " Who''s Afraid of Post-Blackness is a necessary book.To fulfill your potential as an individual or as apeople, you need a clear sense of self.Tour has done the difficultbut liberating work of moving the discussion of race beyond the BlackPower-era thinking of the 1970''s into the 21st Century." -- Reggie Hudlin, filmmaker "Afascinating conversation among some of America''s most brilliant andinsightful Black thinkers candidly exploring Black identity in Americatoday. Tour powerfully captures the pain and dissonance of BlackAmericans'' far too often unrequited love for our great nation." --Benjamin Todd Jealous, President and CEO of the NAACP " Who''s Afraid of Post-Blackness is a tour de force! I applaud Tour''s courage in standing up and telling it like it is. This special book will make you think, laugh, cry--and it will make you look at race and at yourself differently ." --Amy DuBois Barnett, Editor-in-Chief, Ebony "Tourhas taken a question I have asked myself uncountable times over thecourse of my life and asked it of everyone: ''What does it mean to beBlack?''

This is the marvelous tone he's been able to achieve." -Tom Wolfe "Touré has the sarcasm, intellect, and dogged nose for narrative that has made him his generation's premiere chronicler of the chaos, ambition, and boundary-crossing that have accompanied African-American culture's rude and ingenious takeover of American Pop, Inc." -Greg Tate "From 50 Cent to Dale Earnhardt, Jr., we sent Touré out on stories and he got it, whatever it was, every time. His work is like his subjects: stylish, vivid, and burning with energy ."-Jann Wenner, founder of Rolling Stone, It took the singular talent and journalistic skills of Toure to capture the wild genius and larger than life influence of Prince., Praise for Tour: "[An] apostle of the hip-hop aesthetic ." --Darryl Pinckney, New York Review of Books "Tour is one of our nation's most astute and witty observes of the American scene .Not only is he one of the most gifted writers of his generation, buthis sharp insight, poetic phrasing, and biting humor--and his brilliantcommand of so many aspects of pop culture--make his dazzling performanceon page a sheer joy to read." --Michael Eric Dyson, Georgetown University "Tour is an exceptional journalist...He is--if you can imagine it-- Oscar Wilde as a street thug .

Hiswork is like his subjects: stylish, vivid, and burning with energy ."--Jann Wenner, founder of Rolling Stone, Praise for Who''s Afraid of Post-Blackness? : "Tour demolishes the notion that there is only one way to be racially authentic . . . funny, hip and current ." -Gwen Ifill, The Washington Post " One of the most acutely observed accounts of what it is like to be young, black, and middle-class in America . Tour inventively draws on a range of evidence . . . for a performance carried through with unsparing honesty." --Orlando Patterson, The New York Times Book Review "[T]he ever provocative Tour boldly articulates the complicated issues of self and racial identity in the age of Obama." -- Vanity Fair "A personal and scholarly dissection of race issues in modern America. . . . With the help of an array of writers, performers, comedians, artists and intellectuals, among others, the author attempts to reach a consensus on what is typical or otherwise for African-Americans, as well as what Black identity means in the modern era. Yet despite the chorus of voices, the most powerful voice belongs to Tour. While his collected anecdotal evidence provides a necessary framework, his personal experiences with race ring loudest of all. A likely bellwether for America''s future struggles with race." -- Kirkus Reviews "A welcome response to the ''self-appointed identity cops'' who would arrest and banish those they consider insufficiently black. Perceptively analyze[s] a new sensibility in black art and culture to illustrate the complex and fluid racial identification Tour dubs ''post-blackness.''" -- San Francisco Chronicle "Tour candidly tackles a burning issue confronting us today. Black America is undeniably a community ''free, but not equal,'' and people from all walks of life are compelled to devise new approaches to confronting today''s structural inequalities. Here Tour explores insights from many perspectives to help guide the way." --Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. " This book is quintessential Tour: smart, funny, irreverent, and provocative as hell. Rejecting old school racial dogma and new school myths about post-raciality, he offers a powerful and original thesis on the status of Blackness in the 21st century. Through his sharp analysis and honest reflections, Tour challenges us to embrace a more mature, sophisticated, and ultimately liberating notion of racial identity. Any serious conversation on race and culture must begin with this book." --Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, Columbia University Professor and host of "Our World With Black Enterprise" " Who''s Afraid of Post-Blackness is a necessary book. To fulfill your potential as an individual or as a people, you need a clear sense of self. Tour has done the difficult but liberating work of moving the discussion of race beyond the Black Power-era thinking of the 1970''s into the 21st Century." -- Reggie Hudlin, filmmaker "A fascinating conversation among some of America''s most brilliant and insightful Black thinkers candidly exploring Black identity in America today. Tour powerfully captures the pain and dissonance of Black Americans'' far too often unrequited love for our great nation." --Benjamin Todd Jealous, President and CEO of the NAACP " Who''s Afraid of Post-Blackness is a tour de force! I applaud Tour''s courage in standing up and telling it like it is. This special book will make you think, laugh, cry--and it will make you look at race and at yourself differently ." --Amy DuBois Barnett, Editor-in-Chief, Ebony "Tour has taken a question I have asked myself uncountable times over the course of my life and asked it of everyone: ''What does it mean to be Black?'' The answers in this book are thought-provoking, uplifting, hilarious and sometimes sad. His sharp writing and self-effacing stories help digest some hard facts about how identity can be used for and against each of us - and why it matters so much to all of us." --Soledad O''Brien, CNN anchor and special correspondent
