'Jay-Z: Made in America' will be published on Nov. 26.
Sociologist and prolific author Michael Eric Dyson will help mark Jay-Z's 50th birthday with a book examining the career of the hip-hop legend and entrepreneur.
"Jay-Z's body of work charts an artistic and political response to revived racism and renewed hostility to blackness — it is an auspicious time to examine his ideas, gifts, and impact, to take measure of his stride as a cultural colossus," the publisher said. Dyson has also written about other hip-hop artists, with titles including"Holler If You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur" and"Born to Use Mics: Reading Nas's Illmatic," the latter of which was an anthology he co-edited with Sohail Daulatzai. Jay-Z wrote the introduction to Dyson's"Know What I Mean?: Reflections on Hip-Hop," which was published in 2007.
