These are protests, cries for help, love songs, if only we could read them as the secret writing that they are. Our fast capitalism, faster even than the radio/television capitalism of the Frankfurt School's eras, disperses writing beyond the pages of books and texts. Preface by prominent social theorist - Ben Agger.

About the Author:

Poet, musician, writer and photographer Eric Wilkinson is the creator and band leader of The Dialectics. The Dialectics are a live indie hip-hop band with 6 to 9 members. No one knows the exact number for sure, and the Dialectics refuse to issue an estimate for fear that they might leave someone out. Needless to say, the sound is big. Taking their cues from live-band acts like The Roots and Digable Planets, The Dialectics use real guitar, bass, and drums to breath life into break beats. They trade in samples for the spoken word. They are pioneers in the use of manual hand claps. Each Dialectics show is unique and based on the jazz ethic of blending notes and rhythms on the fly. Audience participation is common, and encouraged. Whether building epic walls of sound or just banging out a crowd pleaser, the Dialectics bring it. Eric Wilkinson spits rhymes that take crowds through the highs and lows of postmodern experience, distilling the most prescient philosophical issues of the day. The Dialectics have released two EP's, Styles of Resistance (2007) and Origins of Blast (2008).
