“Exploring how dissatisfaction and dissent are exemplified in various forms of data, the volume shows how hip hop continues to be a politically and socially relevant form of expression around the world and a tool for contemporary youth to express their dissatisfaction with current political and social regimes.” (Associate Professor Cecelia A. Cutler
, City University of New York, USA)“By focusing on the lyrical content of rap produced across the globe, the volume offers intriguing insights on many critical issues of interest to a broad range of readers, including migration, racism and postcolonialism. Authors use a variety of qualitative and quantitative approaches to show how dissatisfaction and dissent are constructed in rap in ways that cross national borders, languages and semiotic modes, thereby pushing forward the methodological apparatus of Hip Hop studies.” (Dr. Emilee Moore, University of Leeds, UK)
