This book explores the significance of reggae and hip hop in
Southern Italy from the beginning of the 1980s to the present.
Focusing on groups and solo artists located predominantly in the
Southern Italian regions of Apulia and Sardinia, it examines the
production and distribution of their music, lyrics and video clips.
To this end, Reggae and Hip Hop in Southern Italy emphasizes the
linguistic aspects of cultural marginalization as well as
marginalities linked to geographical location, gender, and to
social and political identification. The authors put forward three
key arguments, namely: that the Southern Italian transcultural and
multilingual musical productions defy the cultural stereotype of
the South; that the musicians discussed are creating new alliances
and transcultural exchanges that engage critically with the
challenges and opportunities offered by globalization; and that
these musical productions represent one of Italy's most significant
forms of creative political expression since the 1970s. Reggae and
Hip Hop in Southern Italy brings to light the distinctive
characteristics of Italy's independent and marginal musical
contexts of reggae and reggae-inflected hip hop. It will serve as
an invaluable resource for academics and students of Italian
cultural studies, global studies, and the politics of non-hegemonic
cultural production. It also provides an engaging reference for
those with an interest in southern Italy, Apulia, Sardinia, the
southern question and independent and popular music more generally.
