An obscured vanguard in hip hop Filipino Americans have been
innovators and collaborators in hip hop since the culture’s early
days. But despite the success of artists like Apl.de.Ap of the
Black Eyed Peas and superstar producer Chad Hugo, the genre’s
significance in Filipino American communities is often overlooked.
Mark R. Villegas considers sprawling coast-to-coast hip hop
networks to reveal how Filipino Americans have used music, dance,
and visual art to create their worlds. Filipino Americans have been
exploring their racial position in the world in embracing hip
hop’s connections to memories of colonial and racial violence.
Villegas scrutinizes practitioners’ language of defiance, placing
the cultural grammar of hip hop within a larger legacy of
decolonization.An important investigation of hip hop as a movement
of racial consciousness, Manifest Technique shows how the genre has
inspired Filipino Americans to envision and enact new ideas of
their bodies, their history, and their dignity. Â
