Description: At its rhythmic beating heart Close to the Edge asks whether hip hop can change the world. Hip hop rapping beat - making b - boying deejaying graffiti captured the imagination of the teenage Sujatha Fernandes in the 1980s inspiring her and politicizing her along the way. Years later armed with mc - ing skills and an urge to immerse herself in global hip hop she embarks on a journey into street culture around the world. From the south side of Chicago to the barrios of Caracas and Havana and the sprawling periphery of Sydney she grapples with questions of global voices and local critiques and the rage that underlies both. An engrossing read and an exhilarating travelogue this punchy book also asks hard questions about dispossession racism poverty and the quest for change through a microphone.
