In 1988, the United States Congress created the highly controversial 100-to-1 sentencing disparity between crack cocaine and powder whereby someone convicted of "simply" possessing five grams of crack was required by law to serve no less than five years in prison; in order to receive the same five year mandatory sentence, someone would have to be convicted of possessing five hundred grams of powder. In effect, the structure created, in the United States Sentencing Commission's words, a fundamental "anomaly in the law.".

520 $a In 1988, the United States Congress created the highly controversial 100-to-1 sentencing disparity between crack cocaine and powder whereby someone convicted of "simply" possessing five grams of crack was required by law to serve no less than five years in prison; in order to receive the same five year mandatory sentence, someone would have to be convicted of possessing five hundred grams of powder. In effect, the structure created, in the United States Sentencing Commission's words, a fundamental "anomaly in the law.".
520 $a Paradoxically, however, crack cocaine, as researchers have consistently shown, is a drug that has long been in decline. And, while rates of violent crime in the U.S. have also declined since the early 1990s, federal crack cases have increased and the gap between sentences for crack and powder has grown. Likewise, while the majority of people who report using crack at least once a year are white, 81% of those sentenced under federal crack laws are black.
520 $a This dissertation, hence, examines the profound symbolic consequences of crack's paradoxical punishment, although it does so from "outside" of policy. Instead, I focus on the degree to which crack cocaine has emerged as a primary symbolic referent through the development of an important reflexive lyrical stance that many rap artists in the 1990s took towards their own commercialization. In doing so, they became, in essence, products that "talked back" to their producers, as well as to a music industry system that has been consistently perceived of as being duplicitous and humiliating. In effect, I argue that the symbolic importance of crack cannot be understood without an honest accounting of the ways in which it has become so thoroughly imbricated into the moral and material fabric of the forms of cultural expression associated with those groups affected most deeply. Correlatively, rap---especially the violence seemingly so glorified in it---cannot be understood without a thorough accounting of the irrational basis of crack's punishment structure. And, at bottom, in both crack and rap, is to be found a profound moral struggle concerning the possibilities of creating non-humiliating spaces of work in the wake of de-industrialization.
