Your Boy Got An Award!
From the official thang...
Today Jeff Chang was named a 2008 USA Ford Fellow in Literature by United States Artists, a national arts advocacy organization that invests in America's artists and illuminates the value of artists to society.
He was among 51 recipients of United States Artists' prestigious 2008 Fellows program.
Jeff is the author of Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation and the editor of Total Chaos: The Art and Aesthetics of Hip-Hop. He most recently covered the 2008 presidential election for Vibe and Vibe.com. (And here of course!)
Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i, Jeff now resides in Berkeley, California. He has begun writing his third book, Who We Be: The Colorization of America (St. Martin's Press), on the cultural transformation of the U.S. over the past three decades.
