Ubuntu Peoples Podcast, Ep #63--Dr. Bertram Ashe: Black Dread Locked In The Post Soul Aesthetic (Part 1 of 2)
Dr Bertram Ashe teaches and writes about contemporary American culture, primarily post-Civil Rights Movement African American literature and culture (often referred to as “post-blackness” or the “post-soul aesthetic”), as well as the black vernacular triumvirate of black hair, basketball, and jazz. He authored the book *Twisted: My Dreadlock Chronicles*. In part 1, Dr. Ashe and I discuss the hairstyle, the cultural, stylistic & personal reasons behind it's rise, Black male identity formation and perceptions of and around the hair, the "white gaze" on and off campus. We discuss his area of study--the Post Soul Aesthetic--give a definition and offer why it's worth exploring, no matter your skin color, and what the soul says about where America is headed. We also talk basketball and the wonderful freakiness of the current NBA, why Julius Malema is South Africa's Black Donald Trump and perhaps a post black icon.
