[Commlist] Nw book: Hip-Hop Archives: The Politics and Poetics of Knowledge Production

Intellect is pleased to share that /Hip-Hop Archives: The Politics and 
Poetics of Knowledge Production 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/hip-hop-archives>/, edited by Mark V. 
Campbell and Murray Forman, is out now in hardback!

This book focuses on the culture and politics involved in building 
hip-hop archives. It addresses practical aspects, including methods of 
accumulation, curation, preservation, and digitization and critically 
analyzes institutional power, community engagement, urban economics, 
public access, and the ideological implications associated with hip-hop 
culture’s enduring tensions with dominant social values.

The collection of essays are divided into four sections; Doing the 
Knowledge, Challenging Archival Forms, Beyond the Nation and 
Institutional Alignments: Interviews and Reflections. The book covers a 
range of official, unofficial, DIY and community archives and 
collections and features chapters by scholar practitioners, educators 
and curators. A wide swath of hip-hop culture is featured in the book, 
including a focus on dance, graffiti, clothing, and battle rap. The 
range of authors and their topics span countries in Asia, Europe, the 
Caribbean and North America.
