Publisher's Synopsis
Tupac Shakur looms even larger in death than in life. With his trademark skills of critical thinking and storytelling, Michael Eric Dyson helps us to understand why. He examines Tupac's hold on black youth, assessing the in which the elements of his persona - thug, confused prophet, fatherless child - are both vital and destructive. Both deeply personal and sharply analytic this book offers a wholly original perspective to both thrill the devotee and enlighten the initiate. Reissued to tie in with new documentary: 'Tupac Resurrection'
