In anticipation of the upcoming research-based position paper on hip-hop, I have placed five books on reserve at the circulation desk in Pius Library. Because we are all researching the same topic, I wanted there to be at least a few important books on the subject that would be available to all students. You can check out the following books for three hours at a time. If you'd like to learn more about the books before checking them out -- that is, to see whether the book might be useful to you -- then please check out the library catalogue links that I've provided, or you can look them up on Amazon (which will often provide an image of the table of contents with the "Look Inside" feature).
1) Murray Forman and Mark Anthony Neal, That's The Joint! The Hip-Hop Studies Reader (link)
2) Jeff Chang, Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation (link)
3) Jim Fricke and Charlie Ahearn, Yes Yes Y'All: The Experience Music Project Oral History of Hip-Hop's First Decade (link)
4) Alexs Pate, In The Heart Of The Beat: The Poetry of Rap (link)
5) Mickey Hess, Is Hip-Hop Dead? The Past, Present, and Future of America's Most Wanted Music (link)
Remember that there are still many other books on the topic in the library, so don't be afraid to spend some time on the catalogue or in the shelves.
