The N Word: Who Can Say It, Who Shouldn't, and Why

History

Blackstone Audio,Inc.

In 2003, Randall Kennedy's book Nigger started an intense conversation about the use and implications of that epithet. The N Word moves far beyond Kennedy's short, provocative book by revealing how the slur has both reflected and spread the scourge of bigotry in America over the last four hundred years. What began as false generalizations became institutionalized in every corner of our society: the arts and sciences, sports, the law, and on the streets. Asim argues that, even when uttered by hipsters and hip-hop icons, the slur helps keep blacks at the bottom of America's socioeconomic ladder. But he also proves there is a place for this word in the mouths and on the pens of those who truly understand its twisted history--from Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle to Mos Def. Only when we know its legacy can we loosen this slur's grip on our national psyche.

<p>Through this sparsely adorned collection of dramatic monologues, Jabari Asim ruthlessly interrogates entrenched injustice and its insidious echoes. Part rap sheet, part concept album, Asim lays down tracks which add conviction to our collective broken record: What could be more American than pretending truths were self-evident when they seldom were? Drawing defiant inspiration from Rap and the Blues, these poems arrest our attention and burn grooves into us. Like bare bulbs swinging in windowless rooms, Asim's poems offer little solace. Their keening is inescapable, interrupting our piped-in playlists. Without the pretense of safety, Stop & Frisk plays for keeps. These starkly revelatory poems caution us that until we're brave enough to see ourselves as we are, we will endlessly replay the sins of the present.</p>
