Breaking Bread, Breaking Beats

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This collaborative volume is an intergenerational breath of fresh air. In addition to 'breaking bread' and 'breaking beats,' it breaks the hostility and miscommunication between the traditional Black Church(es) and the hip-hop movement by opening a door for constructive dialogue, internal critique, and a mutually beneficial future. This prophetic and persuasive call for a truce between two seemingly incompatible phenomena makes this innovative book a must-read for anyone, young or old, who is seriously concerned about bridging the generational divide and who dares to discern positive possibilities where some only see negative contradictions.”
