The Hip Hop Generation is an eloquent testament for black youth culture at the turn of the century. The only in-depth study of the first generation to grow up in post-segregation America; it combines culture and politics into a pivotal work in American studies. Bakari Kitwana; one of black Americas sharpest young critics; offers a sobering look at this generations disproportionate social and political troubles; and celebrates the activism and politics that may herald the beginning of a new phase of African-American empowerment.

"ANIMALS AND OBJECTS IN AND OUT OF WATER" (GMTA REVIEW)By GMTA PublishingBook Title: "Animals and Objects In and Out of Water"Author: Jay Ryan. Joe Meno. Andrew BirdPublished By: Akashic BooksAge Recommended: 15+Reviewed By: Kitty BullardRaven Rating: 5Review: Art has always been fascinating no matter what kind it is. If its cartoonish. a coveted oil painting. abstract. or anything at all. I have learned from being a mom that even extremely abstract crayon art from a five year old is still. art and just as interesting as something hung in a museum or art studio.Jay Ryans art could be described as a lot of things. It is abstract. strange. creative. sometimes completely mental. and hard to understand. In this book however. much of this art by Jay Ryan is explained perfectly and you find yourself able to understand his world. I loved this book for its visual beauty as well as the bizarre and interesting look into his mind. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that is an art lover and even those who arent huge fans. This mans pictures are brilliant.
