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.YouthPolitical activity21st centuryUnited StatesSocial movementsHistoryUnited StatesHip-hopYouthPolitical activitySocial movementsHistoryHip-hop305.2350973Clay Andreanaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1537740DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910779135403321The Hip-Hop Generation Fights Back3787243UNINA
