Collectively, the essays assert hip hop's importance as an \"organic globalizer: \" no matter its pervasiveness or reach around the world, hip-hop ultimately remains a grassroots phenomenon that is born of the community from which it permeates. Hip hop, then, holds promise through three separate but related avenues: (1) through cultural awareness and identification\/recognition of voices of marginalized communities through music and art; (2) through social creation and the institutionalization of independent alternative institutions and non-profit organizations in civil society geared toward social and economic justice; and (3) through political activism and participation in which demands are articulated and made on the state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith editorial bridges between chapters and an emphasis on interdisciplinary and diverse perspectives, \u003ci\u003eThe Organic Globalizer\u003c\/i\u003e is the natural scholarly evolution in the conversation about hip-hop and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Malone\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at Pace University, USA.
