Rezensionen

"Crystal LaVoulle has produced an incredibly thoughtful, sophisticated, and well-crafted explo-ration of the intersection of hip-hop, education, and cultural studies. The scope and depth of this study will impress scholars of hip-hop, as well as aficionados of the art. It is a welcome addition to a robust body of hip-hop scholarship." Jeffrey O. G.
