    Philosopher and Bronx native Marshall Berman is justly remembered for his pioneering work on the experience of urban modernity. Less well known is his writing on the development of hip-hop. Here, Philippe Le Goff writes on the place of rap in Berman's work, and how the world of the South Bronx helped give the music form.
