Scars of the Soul Are Why Kids Wear Bandages When They Don't Have Bruises Paperback - 2004
by Miles Marshall Lewis
From the jacket flap
Scars captures the political ambitions of Russell Simmons, the Black Spades gang foundation of Afrika Bambaataa and the Universal Zulu Nation, the spiritual sensibility of KRS-One and the Temple of Hip-Hop, and a keynoted debate on the materialistic, violent direction of hiphop culture. Interpreting the mood and inner-city atmosphere that caused the counterculture of hip-hop, Bronx native Miles Marshall Lewis details the circumstances of his father's heroin addiction, his mother's Southern spirituality, his grandfather's career as a Harlem numbers runner, and his own journey from a tenement-building upbringing to worldwide travels--with hiphop trailing his steps.
An incisive look at contemporary urban American life--including a foreword by acclaimed poet Saul Williams--Scars exposes the motivations and aspirations of a culture whose spiritual center was the Bronx.
