Desi Rap is a collection of essays from South Asian American
activists, academics, and hip-hop artists that explores four main
ideas: hip-hop as a means of expression of racial identity, class
status, gender, sexuality, racism, and culture; the appropriation
of Black racial identity by South Asian American consumers of
hip-hop; the furthering of the discourse on race and ethnic
identity in the United States through hip-hop; and the exploration
of South Asian Americans' use of hip-hop as a form of social
protest. Ultimately, this volume is about broadening our horizons
through hip-hop and embracing the South Asian American community's
polycultural legacy and future.
