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.

MoreLong description:
"
An in-depth exploration of Tyler, The Creator's evolution as an artist and cultural force, positioning his audiovisual productions as a watershed in American hip hop.
Through close analysis of his music videos, lyrics, and performances-as rapper, producer and director-it examines how Tyler redefines race, gender and identity in contemporary Black expression. Engaging postcolonial theory, critical race studies and media analysis the book draws on the work of Frantz Fanon to unpack music videos like ""Yonkers,"" ""Buffalo,"" ""Find Your Wings"" and ""Sorry, Not Sorry"" alongside original ethnographic research in Los Angeles. Featuring a conversation with Luis ""Panch"" Perez, director of photography for many of Tyler's videos, Tyler, The Creator's Hip Hop Revolution illuminates one of the most visionary and subversive figures in the current music landscape.
