Abstract:

This book presents the narratives and voices of young, mostly male
practitioners of hip hop culture in Delhi, India. The author suggests that
practitioners understand hip hop as both a thing that can be appropriated and
authenticated, made real, in the local and global context and as a way that
enables them to transform their lives and futures in the rapidly globalising
urban environments of Delhi. The dancers, artists, musicians and cultural
theorists that feature in this book construct a multitude of voices in their
narratives to formulate their ‘own’ transcultural voices within global hip
hop. Through a combination of linguistic ethnography, sociolinguistics and
discourse studies, the book addresses issues including gender and sexuality,
identity construction and global culture.
