What happens when you take the incendiary reviews of an embattled film critic and juxtapose that against the intellectual work of a little-known, yet highly influential academic from the U.K. along with the rebellious generation of the late 1960's? Author Dr. Daniel McNeil, the National Scholar Chair in Black Studies at Queen's University, joins host Prof. Mark Anthony Neal to discuss his latest book, "Thinking While Black: Translating the Politics and Popular Culture of a Rebel Generation," published by Rutgers University Press. The book looks at the body of work of two men: Armond White, the notorious New York film critic, and Dr. Paul Gilroy whose extensive research has heavily influenced such fields as African American Studies, though he is still not yet well-known.
