Everything But the Burden by Greg Tate
To an unprecedented extent, young white people of today are co-opting black styles of music, dance, dress and slang, and appropriating them for themselves. In this collection, writers such as Carl Hancock-Rux, Jonathan Lethem and many more examine how whites seem to have taken on everything but the burden', and ask whether this is a way of shaking off the fear of the unknown, and indicator of appreciation, or a more complicated form of cultural exchange.'
Greg Tate has been a staff writer at The Village Voice since 1986. He has also contributed to The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Washington Post, Premiere, Downbeat, and Artforum. He is the author of Flyboy in the Buttermilk and the forthcoming Everything but the Burden: What Whites Are Taking from Black Culture. A producer, founding member of the Black Rock Coalition, and a working musician, Tate's band Burnt Sugar has been acclaimed by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and JazzTimes among others. He lives in New York City.
