Prep

• Review Paul Gilroy, ‘It’s a Family Affair’, in Neal and Forman (2012). keywords: authenticity; black nationalism; creolisation; race as family. We spent much of the session discussing Paul Gilroy’s critique of the Afrocentric perspective, so we’ll get to the rest of his concerns this Monday. Going forward, we’ll start talking in earnest about hip-hop’s urban geography and the distinctiveness of different local scenes.
