Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation, Oxford University; Visiting Professor of Law, Stanford University

He hit the literary scene big in 1994, when his memoir "Makes Me Wanna Holler: A Young Black Man in America" was published in 1994. Now, the former Washington Post journalist is a professor of African American studies at Emory University and his newest book explores the clashes that occur as gentrification spreads. He comments on the evolution of two of his 'adopted' homes: Washington DC and Atlanta Georgia.
Nathan McCall, "Them" (Atria); and Professor of African American Studies, Emory University
