Description

The City of Hip-Hop by Routledge provides a unique look at the history of the genre. This book explores how specific environments in New York City and its boroughs allowed Hip-Hop to grow. It examines how the political forces of the 1970s worked alongside economic shifts like free market capitalism, neoliberalism, and the privatization of public services. The text also looks at social factors such as the deindustrialization of major cities and the displacement of populations. These combined forces led to the cultural creation of the Boogie Down Bronx. This book is an essential read for those studying the geographic and social roots of Hip-Hop culture.
