Hip-hop culture in general, and rap music in particular, present model sites for such an inquiry, since they enact both postmodern modes of production-the appropriation of tropes, technologies, and material culture-and a potential means of resistance to the commodification of cultural forms under late capitalism. By paying specific attention to the historical and cultural context of hip-hop as a black artform and locating its practice of resistance in terms of a postmodernist reading of consumer culture, this book offers a complex reading of hip-hop as a postmodern practice, with implications both for theories of postmodernism and cultural studies as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53513698902383,"sku":"9780791426265","price":255.12,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0791426262.jpg?v=1790052831","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/spectacular-vernaculars","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
