Sinopse

"Rise of Hip-Hop" explores the incredible journey of hip-hop, from its humble beginnings in the Bronx to its current status as a global cultural phenomenon. It examines how socio-economic conditions in 1970s New York City, including urban decay and social unrest, fostered the birth of this influential genre. The book highlights how hip-hop's unique ability to express the experiences of marginalized communities while adapting to different cultural landscapes fueled its global ascent.

 
The book delves into the core elements of hip-hop culture—DJing, MCing, breakdancing, and graffiti art—while also analyzing the complex processes of commercialization and globalization that have shaped its identity. "Rise of Hip-Hop" also showcases the contributions of pioneers like DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash, while investigating hip-hop's rise as a commercial force and its subsequent globalization.

 
Divided into three major sections, the book begins with hip-hop's birth in the Bronx, then explores its commercial rise in the 80s and 90s, and concludes with its global adaptation and impact on youth culture. By combining historical narrative with cultural analysis, "Rise of Hip-Hop" offers a comprehensive and balanced account of hip-hop's evolution, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in music history, cultural studies, and the dynamics of globalization.

    Do you want to connect with readers on a deeper level? 
    Do you want your books to stand out in a sea of content by being authentic and personal in your writing whatever the genre?  
    Are you interested in creative self-development? 
    If yes, Writing the Shadow is for you.  
    This is a book of my heart and it contains many personal stories — but this book is really about helping you reach readers with your words — and move to the next level in your writing.We all long to write boldly, without filters or fear.  
    To spin stories that capture the messy beauty of what it means to be human. Tales that lay bare the truth of living — darkness and all.  
    But something holds us back.  
    Whispers of “Who do you think you are?” and “You don’t have permission to write that.” Our own self-censorship and the judgment of others keep us from writing freely — and sometimes, from living fully. 
    But all great art taps into darkness, and your most compelling work emerges when you embrace your full humanity—both light and Shadow. 
    In Writing the Shadow, I’ll guide you on an intimate journey to explore the darkness and discover the gold lying hidden in its depths. Gold that may be the source of your best creative work in the years ahead. 
    The Shadow is calling. It’s time to turn your inner darkness into words. 
    “I love everything Joanna Penn does, but Writing the Shadow is the icing on the cake. Ms Penn has found the gold within the darkness and has lit a candle to show us the way.” Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art

    After her beloved dad got addicted to right-wing talk radio and Fox News, Jen Senko feared he would never be the same again . . . 
     
     
     
    Frank Senko had always known how to have a good time. But after a job change forced Frank to begin a long car commute every day, his daughter Jen noticed changes in his personality and beliefs. Long hours on the road listening to talk radio commentators like Rush Limbaugh sucked her father into a suspicion-laden worldview dominated by conspiracy theories, fake news, and rants about the "coastal elite" and "libtards" trying to destroy America. 
     
     
     
    Over the course of a few years, Jen's dad went from a nonpolitical, open-minded Democrat to a radical, angry, and intolerant right-wing devotee who became a stranger to those closest to him. As politics began to take precedence over everything else in her father's life, Jen was mystified. What happened to her dad? Jen began the search for answers, and found them . . . as well as stories from countless other families like her own. 
     
     
     
    Based on the award-winning documentary, The Brainwashing of My Dad uncovers the alarming right-wing strategy to wield the media as a weapon against our very democracy.

    The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
     
     
      
    Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
     
     
      
    Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.

    When a man has reached the point where he can sit in meditation for six months there is no need of eating, No need of latrine or of rest. Only one drop of amrit nectar from the top of the head to the body keeps him alive." Dude Baba, SRI Lockport, 1993 "Dude Baba was a dear friend and god brother to Maharaji. His deep, soulful kirtans and lectures are the highest bhakti, or devotion to Lord Ram, and yes, Babaji ate nothing for the last forty-five years of his life. A true Siddhi Yogi. You are blessed to be in his divine company." Baba Ram Das / Author 'BE HERE NOW' Ram Krishna Das Vaishnaba, or Dude Dehari Baba, or Milk Baba was so named because he lived forty-five years entirely on one small cup of milk per day. No other food ever passed his lips. Baba lived in a small room by the Bagmati river at Pashiputinath temple, five kilometers outside of Katmandu. His beautiful matted hair, or jata, was over twenty-six feet long. Baba was a lifelong devotee of Lord Rama and God Brother and confidant of Neem Karoli Baba, the iconic guru of Baba Ram Das. Lord Rama, also known as Ramachandra, is the seventh avatar of Krishna, one of his most popular incarnations along with Parshurama, and Gautama Buddha. Rama was born to Kaushalya and Dasharatha in Ayodhya, the ruler of the Kingdom of Kosala. Dude Baba was always chanting the name of Rama and was a master musician and great singer of bhajans. In 1993 he met American devotee author Jagannatha Dasa and subsequently travelled to his farm community in Lockport, New York for a six-month residency at the SRI ashram there. While there Dasa arranged for Baba to begin a mammoth two week recording session with a host of popular Indian musicians in order to get his collected bhajans down on tape for posterity. Recorded too were several inspirational lectures. Here then is the fruit of a lifetime spent as an ardent servant of Lord Rama and liberating transcendental vibrations of a pure devotee.
