Ladies and Gentlemen,

I believe you are ready for Easter, now, here is another assignment which you will have time to upload, by the end of the next week, that is April 12. Please, upload your files here, the assignment should have at least 2-3 pages, 1,5 spacing.

1) Compare the views of Richard Shusterman (Fine Art of Rap) and Paul Gilroy´s view (Between Camps, Chapter 5) on rap music and hip hop culture and comment at least on 3 common features they agree on concering rap music and hip hop culture, and 2 main differences in their views on rap music and hip hop culture.

b) then based on your reading of these articles, analyze either rap song lyrics you choose (British or American) or analyze the short story by R.Cortez Cruz we are supposed to discuss next week.

EbonY Man by Ricardo Cortez Cruz (you can find the story in the anthology the electronic Paul Gilroy: Between Camps (Matej has it as well, but only Chapter 5, that is pages 177-206). So, enjoy Easter, and especially Easter parties:)
