Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Should graffiti writers organize to tear up the cities, or should they really be bombing the 'burbs That's the question posed by William Upski Wimsatt in his seminal foray into the world of hip-hop, rap, and street art, and the culture and politics that surround it. But to say that the book deals only with taggers and hip-hop is selling it short. Taking on a broad range of topics, including suburban sprawl, racial identity, and youth activism, Wimsatt (a graffiti artist himself) uses a kaleidoscopic approach that combines stories, cartoons, interviews, disses, parodies, and original research to challenge the suburban mindset wherever it's found: suburbs and corporate headquarters, inner cities and housing projects, even in hip-hop itself. Funny, provocative, and painfully honest, 'Bomb the Suburbs' encourages readers to expand their social boundaries and explore the vibrant, chaotic world that exists beyond their comfort zones.
