This book adopts a sociolinguistic perspective to trace the origins
and enduring significance of hip-hop as a global tool of resistance
to oppression. The contributors, who represent a range of
international perspectives, analyse how hip-hop is employed to
express dissatisfaction and dissent relating to such issues as
immigration, racism, stereotypes and post-colonialism. Utilising a
range of methodological approaches, they shed light on diverse
hip-hop cultures and practices around the world, highlighting
issues of relevance in the different countries from which their
research originates. Together, the authors expand on current global
understandings of hip-hop, language and culture, and underline its
immense power as a form of popular culture through which the
disenfranchised and oppressed can gain and maintain a voice. This
thought-provoking edited collection is a must-read for scholars and
students of linguistics, race studies and political activism, and
for anyone with an interest in hip-hop.
