Description: An ethnographic study of Japanese hip-hop.
Review Quotes: "I found Hip-Hop Japan fascinating. Ian Condry writes with both authority and intimacy. Taking on the movement of musicians, CDs, soundtracks, graffiti, breakdancing, fashion, racialized culture, style, musical genre, lyrics, and history from the United States to Japan, he offers a groundbreaking transcultural study of popular culture explored through an ethnography of the local."--Anne Allison, author of Millennial Monsters: Japanese Toys and the Global Imagination
