Reviews
The first book in English devoted entirely to Francophone rap, and as such aims at filling an important gap...the wide range of relevant approaches used in most of the essays, as well as the variety of issues discussed by their authors are worth, I think, an attentive reading. Notes A valuable addition to the growing body of academic literature in English on non-Anglophone hip-hop outside the USA. European Journal Of Communication This interdisciplinary volume should make the field of French/francophone hip-hop more accessible to Anglophone readers, particularly those who may wish to embark upon comparative studies of hip-hop culture around the world. Modern and Contemporary France ...a very useful work for future research on the ethnology of hip-hop. Anthropologie Et Societes, Vol. 30, No. 2 (2006) ...for those among us who enjoy teaching popular music in our French classes to increase student vocabulary, improve student pronunciation, and introduce students to contemporary Francophone culture, Black, Blanc, Beur provides the essential background information for the instructor. Black, Blanc, Beur does an excellent job of introducing the uninitiated into the world of Francophone rap music from an interdisciplinary angle...particularly noteworthy is the explanation by Durand in his introduction on the volume's title.
