About Me
- David Ikard
- is an associate professor of African American Literature at Florida State University. His research interests include black gender studies, cultural criticism, hip hop culture, and post-racial politics. His book, Breaking the Silence: Toward A Black Male Feminist Criticism (2007), considers the role of black men in black feminist politics via the lens of African American Literature and theory. Co-authored with social work scholar Martell Teasley, his forthcoming book out of Indiana University Press, Nation of Cowards: What It Means to be Black in Barack Obama's Post-Racial America, explores the disconnect between the national hype over Barack Obama's historical election to the presidency and the ever-increasing economic distress of the black community that Attorney General Eric Holder broached in his controversial "race speech" in 2008.
