Sampling and Remixing Blackness is a timely and accessible book
that examines the social ramifications of cultural borrowing and
personal adaptation of Hip-hop culture by non-Black and non-African
American Black artists in theater and performance. In a cultural
moment where Hip-hop theater hits such as Hamilton offer glimpses
of Black popular culture to non-Black people through musical
soundtracks, GIFs, popular Hip-hop music, language, clothing,
singing styles and embodied performance, people around the world
are adopting a Blackness that is at once connected to African
American culture--and assumed and shed by artists and consumers as
they please. As Black people around the world live a racial
identity that is not shed, in a cultural moment of social unrest
against anti-blackness, this book asks how such engagements with
Hip-hop in performance can be both dangerous and a space for
finding cultural allies. Featuring the work of some of the
visionaries of Hip-hop theater including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Sarah
Jones and Danny Hoch, this book explores the work of groundbreaking
Hip-hop theater and performance artists who have engaged Hip-hop's
Blackness through popular performance. The book challenges how we
understand the performance of race, Hip-hop and Blackness in the
age of Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. In a cultural moment where
racial identity is performed through Hip-hop culture's resistance
to the status quo and complicity in maintaining it, Hodges Persley
asks us to consider who has the right to claim Hip-hop's blackness
when blackness itself is a complicated mixtape that offers both
consent and resistance to transgressive and inspiring acts of
performance.
