Barack Obama flipped the script on more than three decades of
conventional wisdom when he openly embraced hip hop-often regarded
as politically radioactive-in his presidential campaigns. Just as
important was the extent to which hip hop artists and activists
embraced him in return. This new relationship fundamentally altered
the dynamics between popular culture, race, youth, and national
politics. But what does this relationship look like now, and what
will it look like in the decades to come? The Hip Hop & Obama
Reader attempts to answer these questions by offering the first
systematic analysis of hip hop and politics in the Obama era and
beyond. Over the course of 14 chapters, leading scholars and
activists offer new perspectives on hip hop's role in political
mobilization, grassroots organizing, campaign branding, and voter
turnout, as well as the ever-changing linguistic, cultural, racial,
and gendered dimensions of hip hop in the U.S. and abroad. Inviting
readers to reassess how Obama's presidency continues to be shaped
by the voice of hip hop and, conversely, how hip hop music and
politics have been shaped by Obama, The Hip Hop & Obama Reader
critically examines hip hop's potential to effect social change in
the 21st century. This volume is essential reading for scholars and
fans of hip hop, as well as those interested in the shifting
relationship between democracy and popular culture. Foreword:
Tricia Rose, Brown University Afterword: Cathy Cohen, University of
Chicago
