Tricia Rose's Black Noise delves into the culture of street art and how is shapes a community's mentality. A route of gaining status- and establishing a sense connection in one's urban environment.

Her diction and syntax reads with a beat much like the music and physical expression which she considers in her research. I recommend this text. I discovered an excerpt of it in an anthology organized by Dr. Bill Lyne & Dr. Vernon Johnson- and went on to purchase it for a Subway commute literature...
