The Rise of the NBA, the Hip Hop Invasion, and the Transformation of American Culture
Todd Boyd
26 €
The author chronicles how basketball and hip hop have gone from being reviled by the American mainstream in the 1970s to being embraced and imitated globally today. For young black men, he argues, they represent a new version of the American dream, one embodying the hopes and desires of those excluded from the original version.
