| Summary | Annotation <div><p>"Jared Ball is determined to rescue hip hop<i>and</i>left activism from increasingly subversive corporate control. This book is a manifesto that needs to be read, argued about, and yelled from the rooftops. Let the bricks fly!"—Todd Steven Burroughs, co-author of<i>Civil Rights Chronicle</i></p><p>"The Funkiest Journalist breaks it all down for all servants of Soul/Funk music and Art in the 21st Century. His<i>Mixtape Manifesto</i>explains what we are up against battling corporate empires that control the coveted consumer-merchant access points, and offers us an option to distribute, connect, and popularize our culture."—Head Roc, political hip-hop artist</p><p>"The revolutionary power of this book lies in its capacity to interrogate staid constructs of thought and re-pose vital questions pertaining to 'emancipatory journalism.' For the power to pose the question is the greatest power of all."—Frank B. Wilderson, III, author of<i>Incognegro</i></p><p>In a moment of increasing corporate control in the music industry, Jared A. Ball analyzes the colonization and control of popular music and posits the homemade hip-hop mixtape as an emancipatory tool for community resistance. Equally at home in a post-colonial studies class and on the shelves of an indie record store,<i>I Mix What I Like!</i>is a revolutionary investigation of the cultural dimension of anti-racist organizing in African America.</p><p><b>Jared A. Ball, PhD</b>, (a.k.a. The Funkiest Journalist) is the host of<i>FreeMix Radio</i>, and assistant professor of communication studies at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland.</p></div> |
