Section Writing Assignment

Section Writing Assignment Read Imani Perry’s chapter, “Stinging Like Tabasco: Structure and Format in Hip Hop Compositions,” from Prophets of the Hood: Politics and Poetics in Hip Hop (available online as an ebook through the library). Write a summary of the chapter. The summary should be between one and two pages. Text should be double spaced, font sized twelve, regular margins. Summaries should address, similar to our breakdown of Tricia Rose’s chapter from the second section, (a) the thesis of the chapter, (b) the arguments which support the chapter’s thesis, and (c) a critical reflection on which places the chapter’s thesis within its broader academic context. Each summary should end with a properly formatted bibliography which cites the chapter, and direct quotes are to be cited properly.
