Armstrong. This book was released on 2019-06-06. 24 Bars to Kill available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The most clearly identifiable and popular form of Japanese hip-hop, “ghetto” or “gangsta” music has much in common with its corresponding American subgenres, including its portrayal of life on the margins, confrontational style, and aspirational “rags-to-riches” narratives. Contrary to depictions of an ethnically and economically homogeneous Japan, gangsta J-hop gives voice to the suffering, deprivation, and social exclusion experienced by many modern Japanese. 24 Bars to Kill offers a fascinating ethnographic account of this music as well as the subculture around it, showing how gangsta hip-hop arises from widespread dissatisfaction and malaise.

Download and read online ebook In the Time of Sky-Rhyming write by Assistant Professor of Latinx Communities Jonathan E Calvillo. This book was released on 2024-10-04. In the Time of Sky-Rhyming available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Jonathan E. Calvillo explores the rise of Hip Hop on the West Coast and the integral role the Los Angeles Latine community had on the movement - and in turn, Hip Hop's impact on Latines as it became a space for community, expression, and coping with inequality. Building his narrative around interviews and oral histories, he explores how incoming migrants, local-born Latines, and other minoritized populations joined Black Americans in the 1980s to build early underground sites of Hip Hop innovation, contributing to the genre's global expansion. The book details how Hip Hop's deep impact on Latines was based in part on the inequality, marginalization, and injustice that many Latines of this era faced - themes which were addressed in the movement. Many creatives from Brown Los Angeles found their place in early underground expressions of Hip Hop, including in breaking, rhyming, DJing, and graffiti elements. During this period, Central American refugees were settling in the urban corridors of the region, young Chicanos were coming of age in the post-civil rights era, Caribbean migrants moved from East to West, South American immigrants were finding their place, and Latines were interacting with Black Americans and other minoritized populations such as ethnic Samoans, Filipinos, and Koreans. Through the lens of Los Angeles Hip Hop history, this project speaks to the migratory flows of urban Brown Los Angeles, the relations between Black Americans and Latines in Los Angeles, and the formation of the racialized subcultures emblematic of urban Los Angeles. In documenting this story, the book sidesteps a media-heavy, music-industry account of Hip Hop history. Instead, it privileges original oral histories and secondary accounts of dozens of artists, to present a grassroots oriented narrative of the intraethnic, interracial negotiations that fueled Latines' identification with and contributions to Hip Hop.

Download and read online ebook Killing African Americans write by Noel A. Cazenave. This book was released on 2018-05-16. Killing African Americans available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Killing African Americans examines the pervasive, disproportionate, and persistent police and vigilante killings of African Americans in the United States as a racial control mechanism that sustains the racial control system of systemic racism. Noel A. Cazenave’s well-researched and conceptualized historical sociological study is one of the first books to focus exclusively on those killings and to treat them as political violence. Few issues have received as much conventional and social media attention in the United States over the past few years or have, for decades now, sparked so many protests and so often strained race relations to a near breaking point. Because of both its timely and its enduring relevance, Killing African Americans can reach a large audience composed not only of students and scholars, but also of Movement for Black Lives activists, politicians, public policy analysts, concerned police officers and other criminal justice professionals, and anyone else eager to better understand this American nightmare and its solutions from a progressive and informed African American perspective.
