{"product_id":"decolonize-hipsters","title":"Decolonize Hipsters","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew urban critters are more reviled than the hipster. They are notoriously difficult to define, and yet we know one when we see one. No wonder: they were among the global cultural phenomena that ushered in the 21st century. They have become a bulwark of mainstream culture, cultural commodity, status, butt of all jokes and ready-made meme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut frightening as it is to imagine, for more than a century hipsters have been lurking among us. Defined by their appearances and the cloud of meaning attached to them—the cool vanguard of gentrification, the personification of capitalism with a conscience—hipsters are all looks, and these looks are a visual timeline to America’s past and present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderlining this timeline is the pattern of American popular culture’s love\/hate\/theft relationship with Black culture. Yet the pattern of recycling has reached a chilling point: the 21st century hipster made all possible past fads into new trends, including and especially the old uncool. In \u003cem\u003eDecolonize Hipsters\u003c\/em\u003e, Grégory Pierrot gives us a field guide to the phenomenon, a symptom and vanguard of the wave of aggressive white supremacist sentiment now oozing from around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57313264861566,"sku":"NW9781682193174","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781682193174.jpg?v=1778591780","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/decolonize-hipsters","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
