A book that turns out to be more about whiteness, than the cross-racial hybridity it ostensibly claims. Even though Leland sees hip as the point of mixture between the races and having a tense relationship with the mainstream, he fails to take note of the fact that "hip" is always only declared so when it encounters white society deems it so and finds value in it. In a sense, whiteness is the only constant in his understanding of hip. And that the author does not perceive or name this is an indication of his limited perspective. (For some reason, his chapter on the internet was the point at which this became sadly clear.)

Still an interesting read.
