Emerald Street: A History of Hip Hop in Seattle with Dr. Daudi Abe

Daudi Abe joins Auntie's for a presentation from his new book, "Emerald Street: A History of Hip Hop in Seattle." Abe chronicles the development of Seattle hip hop, drawing on interviews with artists and journalists to trace how rapping, DJing, breaking and graffiti flourished in the scene. He shows how hip-hop culture goes beyond music, influencing politics, the relationships between communities of color and law enforcement, and the changing media scene. The result is a rich narrative of a dynamic and influential force in Seattle music history and beyond. Visit auntiesbooks.com/event or our Facebook page for details.
