Summer 2010- read up to today- entry 4

In the last few days, I have read:

Tim Wise, White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son, up to p. 157- revised and updated edition, 2008
Steve Jones and Kevin Featherly, "Re-viewing Rock Writing: Narratives of Popular Music Criticism"- pp. 19-38 in Pop Music and the Press, ed. Steve Jones, 2002
Tricia Rose, The Hip Hop Wars: What We Talk About When We Talk About Hip Hop--And Why it Matters, up to p. 30

I've decided on a number of books I want to read for a college newspaper column in the fall--something like "Alternative Views: Readings on Contemporary Society." The Hip Hop Wars will be one of the books, I presume, as will books on immigration, gay rights, race, and religion, among others. More to come.
