- Summary
- This collection provides information on the development of hip-hop and the individuals who made its rise possible, as recorded by journalist Steven Hager and collected by Elizabeth Wheeler. Documenting hip-hop during the early 1970s to mid-1980s, the collection covers the emergence and recognition of this then-new subculture. Included are an outline and manuscript draft, along with notes from the initial meeting with the publisher to discuss the publication of Hager's book, "Hip-Hop: The Illustrated History of Rap Music, Break Dancing and Subway Graffiti". Marketing and promotional correspondence for the book, as well as articles and reviews of films and books on hip-hop, are in the collection. The process, from the decision to publish Hager's manuscript to the marketing of the book, is highlighted in the correspondence to and from the editor, Elizabeth (Betsy) Wheeler of St. Martin's Press.
