For young men in urban Tanzania, barbershops are sites of the
struggle to earn a living amid economic crisis. With names like
Brooklyn Barber House and Boyz II Men, these workplaces are also
nodes in an explosion of popular culture that appropriates images
drawn from the global circulation of hip hop music, fashion, and
celebrity. Street Dreams and Hip Hop Barbershops grapples with the
implications of globalization and neoliberalism for urban youth in
Africa today, exploring urban Tanzanians' complex, new ways of
understanding their place in the world.
