Pimps up, ho's down : hip hop's hold on young Black women / T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting.

Summary:

This book pulls at the threads of the issues surrounding young black women and hip hop culture. In this book, Sharpley-Whiting, a feminist writer who is a member of the hip hop generation, interrogates the complexities of young black women's engagement with a culture that is masculinist, misogynistic, and frequently mystifying. Sharpley-Whiting questions the impacts of hip hop's increasing alliance with the sex industry, the rise of groupie culture in the hip hop world, the impact of hip hop's compulsory heterosexual culture on young black women, and the permeation of the hip hop ethos into young black women's conceptions of love and romance.--[book cover]
