In the land of samba, there is another vibrant culture capturing
the attention of urban youth. This compelling account argues that
hip hop, while certainly a product of globalized flows of
information and technology, is by no means homogenous. Using more
than five years of anthropological fieldwork in Sao Paulo, Brazil's
largest city, Pardue represents "culture" as generative and thus
meaningful as a set of practices. When interpreted in this manner,
local hip hoppers become closer to what they claim to be - subjects
rather than objects of history and everyday life. In his
ethnography, the first in English to look at Brazilian hip hop,
Pardue highlights the analytical categories of race, class, gender,
and territory.
