The author of the award-winning Can"t Stop, Won"t Stop assembles the most innovative and provocative voices in hip-hop to assess the future of the most important cultural movement of our time.
Music journalist and American Book Award winner Jeff Chang presents a stunning and incisive look at hip-hop in the voices of those most intimately involved-prominent artists, writers, musicians, and performers who consider not simply where hip-hop has been but where it"s going. Some of the essays are:
Acclaimed actor, playwright, and performance artist Danny Hoch on how hip-hop defined the aesthetics of a generation
Rock Steady Crew b-boy-turned-celebrated visual artist DOZE on the uses and limits of a "hip-hop" identity
Def Poetry Jam"s Suheir Hammad on the urgent intersection between arts and activism after Hurricane Katrina
Cultural critics Greg Tate, Mark Anthony Neal, Brian "B+" Cross, and Vijay Prashad in a roundtable examination of aesthetics after the decline of the 1980s Multiculturalism movement
Infused with the movement"s grit, funk, and brutal honesty, Total Chaos is a unique and indispensable survey of the hip-hop generation"s contribution to the arts. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Total Chaos: The Art And Aesthetics of Hip-hop (Jeff Chang)
