This book adopts a sociolinguistic perspective to trace the origins and enduring significance of hip-hop as a global tool of resistance to oppression. The contributors who represent a range of international perspectives analyse how hip-hop is employed to express dissatisfaction and dissent relating to such issues as immigration racism stereotypes and post-colonialism. Utilising a range of methodological approaches they shed light on diverse hip-hop cultures and practices around the world highlighting issues of relevance in the different countries from which their research originates. Together the authors expand on current global understandings of hip-hop language and culture and underline its immense power as a form of popular culture through which the disenfranchised and oppressed can gain and maintain a voice. This thought-provoking edited collection is a must-read for scholars and students of linguistics race studies and political activism and for anyone with an interest in hip-hop.
