Hip Hop literature, also known as urban fiction or street lit, is a
type of writing evocative of the harsh realities of life in the
inner city. Beginning with seminal works by such writers as Donald
Goines and Iceberg Slim and culminating in contemporary fiction,
autobiography, and poetry, Hip Hop literature is exerting the same
kind of influence as Hip Hop music, fashion, and culture. This
encyclopedia defines the world of Hip Hop literature for students
and general readers. Included are more than 180 alphabetically
entries on authors, genres, and works, as well as on the musical
artists, fashion designers, directors, and other figures who make
up the context of Hip Hop literature. Among the topics covered are:
Beat Street Between God and Gangsta Rap Black Popular Culture
Blaxploitation Bullet Proof Children's Literature Cupcake Brown
Deconstructing Tyrone Fly Girl Graphic Novels Hip Hop Music Horror
Fiction Walter Dean Myers Teri Woods And many more. Entries cite
works for further reading, and the encyclopedia concludes with a
selected, general bibliography. Students in literature classes will
value this guide to an increasingly popular body of literature,
while students in social studies classes will welcome its
illumination of American cultural diversity.
