A terrific read and central scholarshipBy karlyn crowleyThis book is essential reading for anyone who cares not only about the history of girls games and music; black girls experience; but also the origins of hip hop. Hip Hop lineage is often conceived of as male--Gaunt reimagines the critical and central role that black girls music and games play in hip hops story and also in influencing culture generally. A terrific read and central scholarship.
