The Cultural Politics Of Slam Poetry

The cultural phenomenon known as slam poetry was born years ago in white working-class Chicago barrooms. This title looks at slam, shedding light on the relationships that slam poets build with their audiences through race and identity performance, and revealing how poets come to celebrate the politics of difference in American culture.
