Newly available in paperback, this book looks at how rap and metal
have been highly engaged with America's role in the world,
supercapitalism and their own role within it. This has especially
been the case when genres - hitherto clearly identified as
indelibly 'black' or 'white' forms of music - have crossed over as
an effect of cross-racial forms of identification and desire,
marketing strategy, political engagement, opportunism and
experimentation. It is how examples of these forms have negotiated,
contested, raged against, survived, exploited, simulated and
performed 'Satan's rage' that is the subject of this book. The book
offers a highly original approach in relating rap/metal to critical
theories of economy and culture, introducing a new method of
cultural analysis based on theories of negativity and expenditure
that will be of great interest to students in media and cultural
studies, American studies, critical and cultural theory,
advertising and marketing, and sociology and politics. -- .
