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 history but also that of generations affected by the trauma
of the African diaspora, then and now.
