Mark Anthony Neal

Modern images of black masculinity are often entrenched in the misogyny and homophobia of hip-hop music. But is hip-hop to blame for the intolerance of pop culture’s model black man, or is it merely the expression of black males floundering for acceptance and strength in America? Where is modern black masculinity rooted and must it change for America’s black communities to succeed? Host Frank Stasio speaks with Mark Anthony Neal, associate professor of Black Popular Culture at Duke University, about his latest book, “New Black Man” (Routledge/2005). Listener Call-In.
