Global Linguistic Flows: Hip Hop Cultures, Youth Identities, and the Politics of Language

Located at the intersection of sociolinguistics and Hip Hop Studies, this cutting-edge book moves around the world spanning Africa, Asia, Australia, the Americas and the European Union to explore Hip Hop Cultures, youth identities, the politics of language, and the simultaneous processes of globalization and localization. Focusing closely on language, these scholars of sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, cultural studies, and critical pedagogies offer linguistic insights to the growing scholarship on Hip Hop Culture, while reorienting their respective fields by paying closer attention to processes of globalization and localization.
