The Games Black Girls Play: Learning the Ropes from Double-Dutch to Hip-Hop
Kyra D. Gaunt
Argues that the games black girls play - handclapping songs, cheers, and double-dutch jump rope - reflect and inspire the principles of black popular musicmaking. The author argues that such games are connected to traditions of African and African American musicmaking, and that they teach musical and social lessons that are carried into adulthood.
