Reaching back from the transatlantic slave trade to Emancipation, the Industrial Revolution, and the Great Migration from the rural South to the industrialized North, Brown details an extended history of techno rooted in the transformation of urban centers and the new forms of industrial capitalism that gave rise to the African American working class. Following the groundbreaking work of key early players like The Belleville Three, the multimedia output of Underground Resistance and the mythscience of Drexciya, Brown illuminates the networks of collaboration, production, and circulation of techno from Detroit to other cities around the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INGRAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40404758528054,"sku":"9781734489736","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/3030\/9430\/products\/PI_Brown_Cover_Final-300x454.jpg?v=1663367570","url":"https:\/\/shop.floatingworldcomics.com\/products\/assembling-a-black-counter-culture","provider":"Floating World Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
