In "Deconstructing Tyrone: A New Look at Black Masculinity in the Hip-Hop Generation," (Cleis Press) authors Natalie Hopkinson and Natalie Y. Moore dissect the public and private lives of Detroit’s “Hip-Hop Mayor” Kwame Kilpatrick, NBA poet Etan Thomas, political prisoner Debo Ajabu, and relationships between babydaddy and babymomma, strippers and their dads, and men on the so-called “Down Low,” through the media lens, through stereotype, through the eyes of Black women.
