Description
This long-awaited volume is the first to focus entirely on Hip Hop in Australia. Bringing together both scholarly and practitioner perspectives, across eleven chapters, contributors explore the diversity of identities, communities, practices, and expressions that make-up Hip-Hop in Australia, including Emceeing/ music production, Graffiti and Breaking.
The theoretical and methodological frameworks used include ethnographic and autoethnographic research and writing, discourse analysis, Indigenous methodologies, textual analysis and archival research. Some authors present their contributions in academic chapters while others use creative formats. The book showcases how Hip Hop is understood and lived across numerous settings in Australia, making important contributions to global Hip Hop studies and scholarship in related fields such as popular music/ youth culture and Indigenous Studies.
It will prove essential reading for students, academics, and practitioners interested in Hip Hop, popular culture, music and dance in Australia.
