A book examining the Black literary palate and other musings on race, literature, and culture is his current project.
Recently, Irvin was on our show talking about his article, The Education of Hip Hop.
During our conversation, Irvin spoke about:
– Some background of himself and how growing up in New Orleans shaped his views on race
– Where did his love for writing and education come from
– The story behind the article
– The role of language in the history of black people and his concern about how some black are using language
– Some of his concerns with today’s hip hop music and who can change it
– The effect that hip hop has had in the classroom
– How he incorporated hip hop in his classroom
