What is A Drop of Midnight : a Memoir about?

World-renowned Hip-hop Artist Jason Timbuktu Diakité's Vivid And Intimate Journey Through His Own And His Family's History--from South Carolina Slavery To Twenty-first-century Sweden. Born To Interracial American Parents In Sweden, Jason Diakité Grew Up Between Worlds--part Swedish, American, Black, White, Cherokee, Slovak, And German, Riding A Delicate Cultural And Racial Divide. It Was A No-man's-land That Left Him In Constant Search Of Self. Even After His Hip-hop Career Took Off, Jason Fought To Unify A Complex System Of Family Roots That Branched Across Continents, Ethnicities, Classes, Colors, And Eras To Find A Sense Of Belonging. In A Drop Of Midnight, Jason Draws On Conversations With His Parents, Personal Experiences, Long-lost Letters, And Pilgrimages To South Carolina And New York To Paint A Vivid Picture Of Race, Discrimination, Family, And Ambition. His Ancestors' Origins As Slaves In The Antebellum South, His Parents' Struggles As An Interracial Couple, And His Own World-expanding Connection To Hip-hop Helped Him Fashion A Strong Black Identity In Sweden. What Unfolds In Jason's Remarkable Voyage Of Discovery Is A Complex And Unflinching Look At Not Only His Own Hist
