      abstract = {"What is the relationship between hip-hop and African  American culture in the post-Civil Rights era? Does hip-hop  share a criticism of American culture or stand as an  isolated and unique phenomenon? How have African American  texts responded to the increasing role intellectual  property law plays in regulating images, sounds, words, and  logos? Parodies of Ownership examines how contemporary  African American writers, artists, and musicians have  developed an artistic form that Schur terms "hip-hop  aesthetics." This book offers an in-depth examination of a  wide range of contemporary African American painters and  writers, including Anna Deavere Smith, Toni Morrison,  Adrian Piper, Colson Whitehead, Michael Ray Charles, Alice  Randall, and Fred Wilson. Their absence from conversations  about African American culture has caused a  misunderstanding about the nature of contemporary cultural  issues and resulted in neglect of their innovative  responses to the post-Civil Rights era. By considering  their work as a cross-disciplinary and specifically African  American cultural movement, Schur shows how a new paradigm  for artistic creation has developed."--Publisher's  description.},
