Robin Dg KelleyRobin D. G. Kelley earned his PhD in history from UCLA and focused his work on social movements, politics and culture-although music remained his passion. During his tenure on the faculties of Emory University, the University of Michigan, New York Unversity, and Columbia University, Kelley's scholarly interests shifted increasingly toward music. He has written widely on jazz, hip hop, electronic music, musicians' unions and technological displacement, and social and political movements more broadly. Kelley's essays have appeared in several anthologies and journals, including the Nation, Monthly Review, the Voice Literary Supplement, New York Times (Arts and Leisure), New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, Color Lines, Code Magazine, Utne Reader, Lenox Avenue, African Studies Review, Black Music Research Journal, Callaloo, New Politics, Black Renaissance/Renaissance Noir, One World, Social Text, Metropolis, American Visions, Boston Review, Fashion Theory, American Historical Review, Journal of American History, New Labor Forum, Souls, Metropolis, and more.
