Hello, I’m
It’s Alan Lechusza, PhD. I define my writing works through critical philosophical approach to pop culture aesthetics and expressions. My research topics and projects take a critical theory directive that strives to dismantle, deconstruct and redefine aesthetic hermeneutics of socio-political power and ideological epistemologies through a dynamic dialectic intersections of pop culture identity and the lexicons of power.
Alan Lechusza, Ph.D., has authored numerous articles and book entries that analyze, dismantle, critique, and explore representations and the significance of pop culture. As a cultural critical theorist, Dr. Lechusza examines the dynamic intersections of philosophy with artistic expressions to deconstruct assumptive modalities of society and identity.

See no Indian, Hear no Indian, Don’t Speak about the Indian: Writing Beyond the i/Indian Divide.’
My book, "Are You (Still) Ready for W.O.R.?" focuses on the Native Hip Hop group Without Reservation (W.O.R.) and their use of the cultural signifiers and Elements of Hip Hop. A critical reading of selected works by W.O.R. reveals new epistemological discourse and the ideological flexibility of Native identity. Hip Hop’s vernacular and expressive elements are deconstructed and narrated from a contemporary Native perspective. This updated edition of the original 2009 research includes BONUS TRACKS that illustrate the progress movement of a Native Hip Hop canon. The added analysis reviews the original scholarship to see how those proposed Native critical theories have evolved and remain central to a Native center artistic expression. This updated edition argues for socio-linguistic pedagogical theories that articulate the dynamics of tribal sovereignty and self-determination.
Alan is known for his books, “See no Indian, Hear no Indian, Don’t Speak about the Indian: Writing Beyond the i/Indian Divide,” and “Are You (Still) Ready For W.O.R.?!”
