Tricia Rose studies African American life, culture, and the impact of inequality, in the post-civil rights era. Rose’s work is especially interested in the ways that contemporary forms of systemic racism are blurred and hidden in our everyday storytelling about racism as well as the important role African-American expressive culture plays in creating spaces of recognition, resilience, and resistance. She is the author of four books and one edited collection on subjects ranging from her most recent work on systemic racism to her earlier award-winning work on hip hop, black women’s sexuality, and black popular culture.
