A cultural history of the South Bronx that reaches beyond familiar narratives of urban ruin and renaissance, beyond the "inner city" symbol, to reveal the place and people obscured by its myths.For decades, the South Bronx was America's "inner city." Synonymous with civic neglect, crime, and metropolitan decay, the Bronx became the preeminent symbol used to proclaim the failings of urban places and the communities of color who lived in them. Two narratives--urban crisis and cultural renaissance--have dominated understandings of the Bronx and other urban Images of its ruins--none more infamous than the one broadcast live during the 1977 World Series: a building burning near Yankee Stadium--proclaimed the failures of urbanism.Yet this same South Bronx produced hip hop, arguably the most powerful artistic and cultural innovation of the past fifty years.
