Summary
In this timely examination of children of immigrants in New York and London, Natasha Kumar Warikoo asks, Is there a link between rap/hip-hop-influenced youth culture and motivation to succeed in school? Warikoo challenges teachers, administrators, and parents to look beneath the outward manifestations of youth culture--the clothing, music, and tough talk--to better understand the internal struggle faced by many minority students as they try to fit in with peers while working to lay the groundwork for successful lives.
