Provocative, stimulating, agitating, but none-the-less-awakening and even enlightening. This social-political commentary/satire is surely a one of a kind.

Dr Boyd elegantly script[s] the fall of the previous generation alongside the rise of a new hip-hop ethos. [The New H.N.I.C] is built on the provocative premise that this generation's hip-hop culture has come to supersede the previous one's paradigm of civil rights. Highlighting various moments in recent rap history is the controversy over OutKast's naming a single after Rosa Parks; the white negro-isms of Eminem. Boyd offers hip-hop as the most suitable access point for understanding the social, political, and cultural experiences of African Americans born after the civil rights period.

Ariel Levy's book Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture takes on pop culture's objectification of women, and the new breed of Paris Hilton wannabes who willingly go along, exploiting their own bodies and degrading their sexuality.

The popular culture now glorifies women as sexual beings, for sure, but at a price: women's liberation is now bound up in high-heeled combat boots, S&M leather and lace, and body images that fulfill male fantasies of lascivious women with no agenda beyond the bedroom.
