Tim Wise, White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son- revised and updated edition, 2008- finished
Tricia Rose, The Hip Hop Wars: What We Talk About When We Talk About Hip Hop--and Why it Matters, 2008- up to p. 74
Michael Kimmel, Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men, 2008- up to p. 23
White Like Me proved quite an inspiring and useful memoir that I highly recommend. So far, The Hip Hop Wars is fantastic as well, an ambitious book that fairly assesses arguments about hip hop music and culture for their strengths and weaknesses. Guyland, at least from its introduction, seems that it will be far less revelatory than other literature I've read from Kimmel--specifically the essential essay, "Masculinity as Homophobia."
