Jeff Chang's <i>Can't Stop Won't Stop</i> is a transcontinental urban history viewed through the lens of hip-hop and taking in New York, Long Island, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Kingston (Jamaica). This is just off the top of my head; if you scroll back through my LJ under the "reading" tag, there are likely to be many more.
