Graffiti Grrlz
Author: Jessica Nydia Pabón-Colón
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1479821330
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
An inside look at women graffiti artists around the world Since the dawn of Hip Hop graffiti writing on the streets of Philadelphia and New York City in the late 1960s, writers have anonymously inscribed their tag names on trains, buildings, and bridges. Passersby are left to imagine who the author might be, and, despite the artists’ anonymity, graffiti subculture is seen as a “boys club,” where the presence of the graffiti girl is almost unimaginable. In Graffiti Grrlz, Jessica Nydia Pabón-Colón interrupts this stereotype and introduces us to the world of women graffiti artists. Drawing on the lives of over 100 women in 23 countries, Pabón-Colón argues that graffiti art is an unrecognized but crucial space for the performance of feminism. She demonstrates how it builds communities of artists, reconceptualizes the Hip Hop masculinity of these spaces, and rejects notions of “girl power.” Graffiti Grrlz also unpacks the digital side of Hip Hop graffiti subculture and considers how it widens the presence of the woman graffiti artist and broadens her networks, which leads to the formation of all-girl graffiti crews or the organization of all-girl painting sessions. A rich and engaging look at women artists in a male-dominated subculture, Graffiti Grrlz reconsiders the intersections of feminism, hip hop, and youth performance and establishes graffiti art as a game that anyone can play.

Harlem World
Author: Jonathan Mael
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 142144688X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
"Hip hop music is one of America's true home-grown art forms and certainly one of her most significant cultural exports, with local hip hop scenes now thriving worldwide. The birth of hip hop music is commonly dated to the release of the Sugarhill Gang's classic track "Rapper's Delight," which was the first rap song to make the Billboard Top 40 list (peaking at #36 in January 1980.) Currently, much credit goes to the Bronx for the "invention" of hip hop: the Universal Hip Hop Museum just broke ground there. This book is the untold history of how Harlem helped ignite the revolution that changed music and American culture"--
