From youth violence, to the impact of high stakes educational
testing, to editorial hand wringing over the moral failures of
hip-hop culture, young people of color are often portrayed as gang
affiliated, "troubled," and ultimately, dangerous. The Hip-Hop
Generation Fights Back examines how youth activism has emerged to
address the persistent inequalities that affect urban youth of
color. Andreana Clay provides a detailed account of the strategies
that youth activists use to frame their social justice agendas and
organize in their local communities.
Based on two years of fieldwork with youth affiliated with two
non-profit organizations in Oakland, California, The Hip-Hop
Generation Fights Back shows how youth integrate the history of
social movement activism of the 1960s, popular culture strategies
like hip-hop and spoken word, as well as their experiences in the
contemporary urban landscape, to mobilize their peers. Ultimately,
Clay's comparison of the two youth organizations and their
participants expands our understandings of youth culture, social
movements, popular culture, and race and ethnic relations.
