City of Hip-Hop

This book positions a unique conceptualization of the history of Hip-Hop, arguing that it was the political forces of the 1970s combined with economic forces of free market capitalism and privatization of public services, neoliberalism, and the deindustrialization of major cities, that led the cultural creation of the “Boogie Down” Bronx.
