Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Explores a hip-hop pedagogy arising from the creative practices of Toronto artists whose insistence on originality leads to unique performance identities.
MoreLong description:
What happens when Hip-Hop's African American origin story travels around the world and lands in Toronto, Ontario, Canada?
Set amidst Toronto's increasingly inter-cultural communities, B-boy Jazzy Jester, MC LolaBunz, and DJ Ariel detail the trajectories of their artistic development, honoring Hip-Hop's translocated history while remixing hip-hop cultural perspectives to assert difference as style.
By living with and traversing the web of social imperatives they inhabit, these artists learn to use Hip-Hop's creative tools to produce knowledge and meanings expressed through sound and movement. Stories of migration, Indigenous sovereignty, and intersectional, generational struggle and triumph become resources for identity (re)creation. Through processes of Signifyin(g) (Gates, Jr., 1988) on performative acts (Butler, 1990), artists reveal how hip-hop pedagogy enables aesthetic negotiations that access raw experiences to cultivate dynamic performances. The resulting narrative portraits provide an intimate understanding of the spaces, people, and communities that fill, shape, and nourish the Toronto Hip-Hop scene.
