Culture, Politics, And The Black Working Class

Race Rebels

Explores the impact of hip hop on culture worldwide.

The Vinyl Ain't Final

Many black strategies of daily resistance have been obscured--until now. Race rebels, argues Kelley, have created strategies of resistance, movements, and entire subcultures. Here, for the first time, everyday race rebels are given the historiographical attention they deserve, from the Jim Crow era to the present.
