Remixing the Hip-Hop Narrative: Between Local Expressions and Global Connections
edited by James Barber, Christian Büschges, Dianne Violeta Mausfeld, and Britta Sweers (2024; transcript)
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Remixing the Hip-Hop Narrative seeks to provide readers with new insights on hip hop’s multi-layered micro-histories in the US and beyond, as well as the ongoing representation and negotiation of diverse perspectives on themes including gender, race, musical and performative authenticity, and the commercialization of the culture. The book targets scholars and students interested in learning more about hip hop’s birth and historical evolution in its US origins, with further case studies of hip hop’s national and global spread, and examples of the form’s transnational and translocal connections. Adapting interdisciplinary perspectives on these developments, the edited volume includes scholars from fields such as musicology, popular music studies, gender studies, pedagogy, North American and area studies, and Black diasporic history. The contributions offer approaches to historicizing hip-hop culture, and present new theoretical perspectives and
methodological tools for addressing hip hop’s global impact, which also resonate with recent public debates about identity politics and cultural appropriation.
With contributions by Terence Kumpf, Amy Coddington, Dianne Violeta Mausfeld, Kevin P. Green, Kevin C. Holt, Martina Bratić, Eliseo Jacob, Martin Lüthe, Bronwen Low, and Édouard Laniel-Tremblay, and James Barber.
