Urban youth in the United States and throughout the world are of national and international importance as they experience new technologies, identities, and the overall effect of globalization and urbanization. This course examines the development of hip-hop in the United States and its importance as a cultural, political, and artistic resource for youth. In particular, the course will examine hip-hop literacy, language and learning, art, performance, and dress design. Topics include community, crime and justice, economics, education, family, history, identity, language, politics, sports, race and racism, and sex and sexism. Particular emphasis will be placed on the value and limits of hip-hop in the classroom, its history, and its role in framing urban youth identity.
