Author, Journalist, and Culture Critic Jeff Chang #041

Jeff Chang is a giant in the world of journalism and music criticism, writing for NPR, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Village Voice,  Vibe, The Nation, and Mother Jones. An award-winning author, Jeff wrote a definitive history of hip-hop, Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation which won an American Book Award in 2005. Besides his writing, the podcast host and record label founder is an organizer who focuses on bridging the gap between disparate communities. We talk with him about his latest work, Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America, and how this new biography about The Dragon breaks new ground on our understanding of Bruce himself, as well as how we reckon with the complicated and layered identity of Asian Americans overall.
