About the book

This book tells the story of how American pop culture has evolved throughout the twentieth century to its current position as world cultural touchstone. From sex and music to fashion and commerce, the author tracks the arc of ideas as they move from subterranean Bohemia to Madison Avenue and back again. The book examines how hip has helped shape - and continues to influence - America's view of itself, and provides an incisive account of hip's quest for authenticity.
