Just as his music career was taking off, Juan Vidal received life-changing news: he'd soon be a father. Throughout his life, neglectful men were the rule--his own dad struggled with drug addiction and infidelity--a cycle that, inevitably, wrought Vidal with insecurity. At age twenty-six, with but a bare grip on life, what lessons could he possibly offer a kid? Determined to alter the course for his child, Vidal did what he'd always done when confronted with life's challenges. He turned to the counterculture. In Rap Dad, the musician-turned-journalist takes a thoughtful and incredibly inventive approach to exploring identity and examining how we view fatherhood in a modern context. To root out the source of his fears around parenting, Vidal revisits the flash points of his juvenescence, a feat that transports him, a first-generation American born to Colombian parents, back to the drug-fueled streets of 1980s-90s Miami. It's during those pivotal years that he's drawn to skateboarding, graffiti, and the music of rebellion: hip-hop. As he looks to the past for answers, he infuses his personal story with rap lyrics and interviews with some of pop culture's most compelling voices--of which plenty have proven to be some of society's best, albeit non-traditional, dads. Along the way, Vidal confronts the unfair stereotypes that taint urban men--especially Black and Latino men--in today's society. An illuminating journey of discovery, Rap Dad is a striking portrait of modern fatherhood that is as much political as it is entertaining, personal as it is representative, and challenging as it is revealing"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Part memoir and part cultural critique, Rap Dad is a reflection on fatherhood in America, explored through the lens of race, the counterculture, and the hip hop generation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Vidal, Juan, $d 1981- 650 0 $a Journalists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Fatherhood $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Colombian Americans $v Biography. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020632.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060322.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180925020342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B7A8158C08E11E880BCE07297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
