It's not just rap music. Hiphop has transformed theater, dance, performance, poetry, literature, fashion, design, photography, painting, and film, to become one of the most farreaching and transformative arts movements of the past two decades. American Book Awardwinning journalist Jeff Chang, author of the acclaimed Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the HipHop Generation, assembles some of the most innovative and provocative voices in hiphop to assess the most important cultural movement of our time. It's an incisive look at hiphop arts in the voices of the pioneers, innovators, and mavericks. With an introductory survey essay by Chang, the anthology includes: Greg Tate, Mark Anthony Neal, Brian 'B+' Cross, and Vijay Prashad examining hiphop aesthetics in the wake of multiculturalism. Joan Morgan and Mark Anthony Neal discussing gender relations in hiphop. Hiphop novelists Danyel Smith and Adam Mansbach on 'street lit' and 'lit hop'. Actor, playwright, and performance artist Danny Hoch on how hiphop defined the aesthetics of a generation. Rock Steady Crew bboyturnedcelebrated visual artist DOZE on the uses and limits of a 'hiphop' identity. Awardwinning writer Raquel Cepeda on West African cosmology and 'the flash of the spirit' in hiphop arts. Pioneer dancer POPMASTER FABEL's history of hiphop dance, and acclaimed choreographer Rennie Harris on hiphop's transformation of global dance theatre. Bill Adler's history of hiphop photography, including photos by Glen E. Friedman, Janette Beckman, and Joe Conzo. Poetry and prose from Watts Prophet Father Amde Hamilton and Def Poetry Jam veterans Staceyann Chin, Suheir Hammad, Marc Bamuthi Joseph and Kevin Coval. Roundtable discussions and essays presenting hiphop in theatre, graphic design, documentary film and video, photography, and the visual arts. Total Chaos is Jeff Chang at his best: fierce and unwavering in his commitment to document the hiphop explosion. In beginning to define a hiphop aesthetic, this gathering of artists, pioneers, and thinkers illuminates the special truth that hiphop speaks to youth around the globe.
