Scholar, Author, Cultural Critic & Media
Personality
Michael Eric Dyson
Hailed as one of the nation’s most inspiring African Americans, Michael Eric
Dyson — a two-time NAACP Image Award winner and named by Ebony magazine
as one of the 100 most influential black Americans — has been credited with
revitalizing the role of the public intellectual with the fervor of an ordained
Baptist minister.
Infusing intellectual endeavors with popular culture, Dyson focuses on topics of
interest to the public. He eloquently melds scholarly insight with the phenomena
of contemporary culture, emphasizing their interconnectedness and force in
shaping our society.
His seventeen
books provide some of the most
significant commentary on modern social and intellectual thought, interwoven
with a combination of cultural criticism, race theory, religion, philosophical
reflection, and gender studies. Works such as Making
Malcolm; I May Not Get There
With You; Holler If You Hear Me; Mercy,
Mercy Me: The Art, Loves and Demons of Marvin Gaye; Is
Bill Cosby Right? Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind?; and more
recently, Come Hell or High
Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster, deeply probe social
themes and cultural politics. His latest book is the New
York Times bestseller April
4, 1968: Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Death and How It Changed America. And in
May, Dyson published Can You Hear
Me Now?: The Inspiration, Wisdom and Insight of Michael Eric Dyson.
A popular professor of sociology at Georgetown University, Dyson bridges gaps
between generations, connecting civil rights identity to hip-hop culture while
forging links between older and younger Americans, especially black Americans.
As a cutting-edge cultural critic, he educates the general public on the
significance of race theory, social analysis, cultural criticism, hip hop,
sexual politics, among other subjects — not only in understanding black culture,
but American culture, as well. With his powerful voice, Dyson reaches beyond
race, addressing the universal commonality of American concern.
