Hip: The History

In the midst of a veritable research abyss whilst writing a major investigative paper on [what else?] hipsters, my Research Assistant [Mia Steinle] discovered this books in the depths of the AU library, bless her heart! Leland writes for Spin and the NY Times, about pop culture and music, mostly, and this piece is a very thoroughly written investigation of the different stages of hip throughout the 20th Century.
My favorite chapter is the one about gender and it looks at the different feminisms present in hipster culture, with a compare-and-contrast look at Patty Smith and Kim Gordon as feminine icons.
