Autor Patrick Neate
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iun 2004
A stunning musical journey and cultural odyssey, Where You're At is the story of how hip hop conquered the globe and nobody noticed.'A dazzling study of hip-hop ... illuminating and passionate throughout' Observer'Neate tells it like it is ... This is a heartening appreciation of a wondrous thing: poetry for the masses. Neate loves it and so should you' The TimesThis the definitive history of how hip-hop rose from a grassroots movement in tiny clubs and on literal streets to selling out arenas around the world and redefining the nature of popular music.Pinballing around the major cities of the world, from where it all began in the projects of Brooklyn and the Bronx to the excessive madness of Tokyo, from the random violence of Johannesburg, to the shanty towns of Rio, Whitbread Award-winning writer Patrick Neate explores the way how, through hip hop, the potent symbolism of black America has been acquired, used and subsumed by cultures on every continent to create a uniquely different form of globalism.
