Summary |
In the summer of 2020, Tupac Shakur's single "Changes" became an anthem for the worldwide protests against the murder of George Floyd. The song vaulted back onto the iTunes charts more than twenty years after its release, making it clear that Tupac's music and the way it addresses systemic racism, police brutality, mass incarceration, income inequality, and a failing education system is just as important now as it was back then. Pearce interviewed dozens who knew Tupac throughout various phases of his life, and here he focuses on fresh stories and rare insight as their voices combine to portray Tupac in all his complexity and contradiction. -- adapted from publisher info |
