Book excerpt: "Signpost Up Ahead, The East" is the the companion volume to Stephen H. Provost's pictorial tour of road signs, billboards, neon signs, and other messages by the side of the road. Featuring hundreds of historical and contemporary photos of iconic and familiar signs from east of the Mississippi River, it includes everything from century-old barn signs on rural routes to scaffolded signs on high-rises at the center of major cities. This book is intended to capture as much of our roadside history a s possible by including a representative sample of signage across seven categories. The author invites you on a scenic and historical journey through city streets, down rural byways, up the coast, across the plains, and through the mountains. You'll traverse these roads as they once appeared, and as they appear today, including such famed highways as the Blue Ridge Parkway, Lincoln Highway, and Cumberland Road. You'll see signs that tell you how to get from here to there, signs that flash across Times Square, signs with clowns and bucking broncos. You'll see speed limit signs, motel signs, railroad crossing signs, and service station signs. Readers of the first volume, "Signpost Up Ahead, The West," will discover the roads of the East are vastly different from those in the far-flung western roadways, but also that they're no less fascinating and just as beautiful.

Download or read book Fear of a Hip Hop Planet written by D. Marvin Jones and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Gangsta Rap just black noise? Or does it play the same role for urban youth that CNN plays in mainstream America? This provocative set of essays tells us how Gangsta Rap is a creative "report" about an urban crisis, our new American dilemma, and why we need to listen. Increasingly, police, politicians, and late-night talk show hosts portray today's inner cities as violent, crime-ridden war zones. The same moral panic that once focused on blacks in general has now been refocused on urban spaces and the black men who live there, especially those wearing saggy pants and hoodies. The media always spotlights the crime and violence, but rarely gives airtime to the conditions that produced these problems. The dominant narrative holds that the cause of the violence is the pathology of ghetto culture. Hip-hop music is at the center of this conversation. When 16-year-old Chicago youth Derrion Albert was brutally killed by gang members, many blamed rap music. Thus hip-hop music has been demonized not merely as black noise but as a root cause of crime and violence. Fear of a Hip-Hop Planet: America's New Dilemma explores—and demystifies—the politics in which the gulf between the inner city and suburbia have come to signify not only a socio-economic dividing line, but a new socio-cultural divide as well.
