Race, Heresy, Jazz and Hip Hop with Coleman Hughes – Ep 1
Episode description
Our very first guest is writer, podcaster, and musician Coleman Hughes, winner of the 2022 Omni-American Young Leaders Award. We delve into Coleman’s upbringing and education, and how music and ideas inspire his work and thought.
Specifically, we discuss race and American identity; the conundrum of gender identity being more flexible than racial identity among academics and activists; the imperative of heresy and Plato's cave as a model for liberation from the shadow of race; and—since Coleman is a jazz trombonist and a hip hop MC—the interrelationship between jazz music and hip hop.
Straight Ahead is supported by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM).
