Bomb The Suburbs is a collection of essays by William Upski Wimsatt, a former graffiti tagger and imitator of the wigger subculture. It is a mix of storytelling, journalism, photojournalism and original research, on a broad range of topics, such as suburban sprawl, hip hop culture, wiggers, youth activism, graffiti, and Chicago. It was photoedited by artist Margarita Certeza Garcia, and published in 1994 by Subway & Elevated Press, a division of Soft Skull Press, with ISBN 0-9643855-0-3, and republished in 2000.[1] The first edition had 3,000 copies.

Upon reading an excerpt from Wimsatt's Bomb the Suburbs, seminal gangsta rap artist Schoolly D remarked:

'Where the [expletive] does he come from, Beverly Hills 90210, to the projects? It sounds like [Wimsatt] doesn't know anybody black. If you ask anybody who's black, you'll find that it's not a requirement for white homeys to act like they do.'[2]

Bomb The Suburbs led to subsequent books and political activism.[3] In an essay in his No More Prisons compilation, entitled 'In Defense of Rich Kids', Wimsatt responded to classist criticism of his affluent background:

'You can hate me if you want to. I am the beneficiary of a very unfair system. The system gives me tons of free money for doing nothing, yet it forces you to work two and three jobs just to get out of debt.'[4]

Should graffiti writers organize to tear up the cities, or should they really be bombing the 'burbs? That's the question posed by William Upski Wimsatt in his seminal foray into the world of hip-hop, rap, and street art, and the culture and politics that surround it. But to say that the book deals only with taggers and hip-hop is selling it short. Taking on a broad range of topics, including suburban sprawl, racial identity, and youth activism, Wimsatt (a graffiti artist himself) uses a kaleidoscopic approach that combines stories, cartoons, interviews, disses, parodies, and original research to challenge the suburban mindset wherever it's found: suburbs and corporate headquarters, inner cities and housing projects, even in hip-hop itself. Funny, provocative, and painfully honest, Bomb the Suburbs encourages readers to expand their social boundaries and explore the vibrant, chaotic world that exists beyond their comfort zones.
