Booklist has published rave reviews for two Gale titles released this year: Amateur Newspapers from the American Antiquarian Society and St. James Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Culture.
Amateur Newspapers from the American Antiquarian Society is an extensive collection of amateur publications that were written, edited, and published primarily by young people, aged 12-20, during the second half of the nineteenth century. St. James Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Culture presents more than 200 entries that examine the history and contributions of hip hop to American and global culture.
Read below to see what Booklist highlights about each title:

“Amateur Newspaper from the American Antiquarian Society offers a broad collection written and published largely by nineteenth-century U.S. youth, providing unique insight to their culture. This collection will round out any journalism or social-science collection.”
— Jennifer Adams
St. James Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Culture
“Beginning researchers would do well to browse through the articles listed in these separate categories to gain a better appreciation of hip-hop culture’s impact on the world.”
