A book dedicated to all those who want to understand the birth of hip-hop culture. From the history of forced migration to the New World to the social upheavals of the United States, this book traces the origins of the movement, from the Bronx to the rest of the world. It explores graffiti, dance, rap, DJing, as well as the roots, values, and contradictions of a culture that remains widely misunderstood.
Written as a journey through time, the book takes the space needed to revisit the history of a movement too often dismissed as a trend, despite being and remaining a culture in its own right. With over 30 chapters, this book offers a comprehensive overview for anyone seeking to understand the depth and significance of hip-hop culture.
