The Interlaced History of Hoaxes and Race
The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 15, 2017
Kevin Young, poet, director of the NYPL Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and New Yorker poetry editor, talks about his new book, Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists, Phonies, Post-Facts, and Fake News (Graywolf Press, 2017).
@Deardarkness: Once revealed, the hoax reveals other things about what we really believe and sometimes it’s the worst about each other.
