(4) YA Groundwork Guides series. Using slang and plenty of examples, Higgins makes hip-hop culture accessible for the uninitiated; he also manages to keep the conversation elevated enough to engage aficionados (though at times his personal views and informality undermine the informational tone). The text addresses misogyny, homophobia, and violence head-on, celebrating hip-hop and its rich history even while calling for change. Reading list, timeline. Ind.
