Part of a new series Intersections in Communications and Culture: Global Approaches and Transdisciplinary Perspectives, this volume examines how youth construct notions of self and community outside of school through hip hop culture. Dimitriadis (sociology of education, U. of Buffalo) conducted ethnographic research at a local community center in the mid to late-1990s to understand how young people made sense of hip hop film, music, and videos to understand themselves, their social networks, and the world. He discusses constructions of race, gender, and class in the music, with specific examination of Southern rap, constructions of history and the film Panther, and identifications with Tupac Shakur. This edition has been revised, expanded, and updated to reflect contemporary trends in hip hop culture and scholarship, and societal, cultural, and economic changes in the past decade. Previous versions of some of the chapters have been published elsewhere. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
