Summary

""Prophets of the Hood" is the most comprehensive and intellectually original study to date of hip hop as a complex and innovative literary narrative form. Written with a refreshing blend of savvy critical rigor and brave and imaginative narrative verve, Imani Perry's study is an impressive analysis of late-twentieth-century American popular culture."--Daphne A. Brooks, Princeton University
