The Oxford Handbook of Hip Hop Dance Studies offers insights on individual and social histories of dance, Afrodiasporic and global lineages of the genre, the contribution of B-Girls from Honey Rockwell to Rokafella, the "studio-fication" of hip hop, and the cultural shift into theatre, TV, and the digital social media space. The Oxford Handbook of Hip Hop Dance Studies is an important contribution to hip-hop research, and in the coming years it will likely function as a central reference work in the production of knowledge concerning hip-hop in general and hip-hop dance specifically. Not least, I reckon that it should be relevant as an encyclopedia and reference work for those interested in breaking when it appears in the Paris Olympics this summer.
