Imani Perry
Since 2009, Imani Perry has made her home at Princeton. Holding doctorates in history and law from Harvard, her research looks at these subjects in the context of race. Just reading the title of her latest work, More Terrible, More Beautiful: The Embrace and Transcendence of Racial Inequality in the United States, gives you some sense of why Perry’s a popular commentator in the age of Obama. And while all of her musings can be categorized as cultural criticism, some writings look specifically at that part of culture that is also art; her articles on literature and the book, Prophets of the Hood: Politics and Poetics in Hip Hop, are such examples.
