    • Lorsque sa tante Fifi lui demande de reprendre l'intendance du fastueux manoir des De Beauvilliers, Sybil ne pensait pas que sa vie prendrait une direction aussi étrange. Les retrouvailles avec son cousin Elliott sont bien différentes de ce qu'elle avait imaginées. Sa rencontre avec le mystérieux Nathaniel bouleversera ses sens et sa raison, Mais le plus perturbant dans cette nouvelle vie sont ces oursons en peluche qu'elle croise partout dans le domaine ; à qui appartiennent-ils ? Et ce petit garçon qui vient discuter avec elle dans sa chambre, la nuit, qui est il ?

    • From the first rap battles in Seattle's Central District to the Grammy stage, hip hop has shaped urban life and the music scene of the Pacific Northwest for more than four decades. In the early 1980s, Seattle's hip-hop artists developed a community-based culture of stylistic experimentation and multiethnic collaboration. Emerging at a distance from the hip-hop centers of New York City and Los Angeles, Seattle's most famous hip-hop figures, Sir Mix-A-Lot and Macklemore, found mainstream success twenty years apart by going directly against the grain of their respective eras. In addition, Seattle has produced a two-time world-champion breaking crew, globally renowned urban clothing designers, an international hip-hop magazine, and influential record producers. In Emerald Street, Daudi Abe chronicles the development of Seattle hip hop from its earliest days, drawing on interviews with artists and journalists to trace how the elements of hip hop--rapping, DJing, breaking, and graffiti--flourished in the Seattle scene. He shows how Seattle hip-hop culture goes beyond art and music, influencing politics, the relationships between communities of color and law enforcement, the changing media scene, and youth outreach and educational programs. The result is a rich narrative of a dynamic and influential force in Seattle music history and beyond. Emerald Street was made possible in part by a grant from 4Culture's Heritage Program.
