A conversation on re-segregation in American life today. According to author Jeff Chang “resegragation is one of the most under-thought and under-recognized issues of our times. It is a fact that the U.S. is moving towards becoming a “majority-minority” country. In California is already happening. And in the Bay Area we are racially re-segregating at a shocking rate, especially in the form of gentrification and displacement”.
Guest: Jeff Chang is a Hip Hop journalist and writer. His latest book, We Gon’ Be Alright: Notes on Race and Resegregation was named the Northern California Nonfiction Book Of The Year, and the Washington Post declared it “the smartest book of the year.” In May 2019, he and director Bao Nguyen created a four-episode digital series adaptation of the We Gon’ Be Alright for PBS Indie Lens Storycast.
