AME 303 - Hip-Hop America: Culture, Consciousness and Movement3 CR
Hip Hop has shaped American culture for decades and helps to define the essence of what America is. Contested and contradictory, powerful and diverse, beautiful and ugly, Hip Hop gives a voice to the oppressed and a means to mainstream success. Through a variety of texts like rap music and the Broadway musical, Hamilton, as well as contexts like feminism and social justice, we will explore the ways in which Hip Hope shapes and challenges American culture, raising consciousness, and inspiring a variety of movements. (This course is cross listed with ENG 303 , MUS 303 and WGS 303 )
Prerequisite(s): AME 201W OR MUS XXX OR ENG 102W OR WGS 101W OR permission of instructor.
