In this highly original work, Dimitri A. Bogazianos draws on various sources to examine the profound consequences of America's reliance on this punishment structure, tracing the rich cultural linkages between America's War on Drugs, and the creative contributions of those directly affected by its destructive effects. Focusing primarily on lyrics that emerged in 1990s New York rap, which critiqued the music industry for being corrupt, unjust, and criminal, Bogazianos shows how many rappers began drawing parallels between the "rap game" and the "crack game." He argues that the symbolism of crack in rap's stance towards its own commercialization represents a moral debate that is far bigger than hip hop culture, highlighting the degree to which crack cocaine--although a drug long in decline--has come to represent the entire paradoxical predicament of punishment in the U.S. today."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aAlternative criminology series. 606 $aDrug control$zUnited States 606 $aCrack (Drug)$zUnited States 606 $aSentences (Criminal procedure)$zUnited States 606 $aNarcotic laws$zUnited States 615 0$aDrug control 615 0$aCrack (Drug) 615 0$aSentences (Criminal procedure) 615 0$aNarcotic laws 676 $a363.450973 700 $aBogazianos$b Dimitri A$01614173 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817589603321 996 $a5 grams$93943874 997 $aUNINA
