Chiara Minestrelli

Australian Indigenous Hip Hop

The Politics of Culture, Identity, and Spirituality

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates the discursive and performative strategies employed by Australian Indigenous rappers to make sense of the world and establish a position of authority over their identity and place in society. Focusing on the aesthetics, the language, and the performativity of Hip Hop, this book pays attention to the life stance, the philosophy and the spiritual beliefs of Australian Indigenous Hip Hop artists as 'glocal' producers and consumers.
