About
A fascinating look at hip-hop, the world's most, popular music, and what it, means to young people all over the globe, written by an acclaimed pop-culture critic. An excellent introduction to hip-hop for young adults.
Hip-hop is arguably the predominant global youth subculture of this generation. In this book, Dalton Higgins takes vivid snapshots of the hip-hop scenes in Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and more.
American hip-hop has gone, through growing pains, and is, questioned for being too, commercialized to articulate the hopes, concerns, and dreams, of marginal youth and community members. Outside the US, hip-hop culture is often, a political tool to mobilize disenfranchised communities around hard issues, with little support from mainstream corporations or sponsors.
Higgins taps into his own powers of pop culture prognostication to predict the future of the genre and the youth culture that spawned it, as hip-hop spreads its tentacles to the furthest reaches of humanity.
