South Asian Americans, Blackness, and a Global Race Consciousness

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This bold, innovative critique of an under-explored area of hip hop culture significantly expands the field of hip hop scholarship. With this book, Nitasha Tamar Sharma makes an important contribution to our understanding of the complex ways that youth from various racial, ethnic, and national backgrounds are absorbing hip hop culture, respecting its cultural origins, and reshaping it in their own image."--Bakari Kitwana, author of "The Hip Hop Generation: Young Blacks and the Crisis in African American Culture"
