This long-awaited volume is the first edited collection to focus entirely on Hip Hop in Australia. Bringing together both scholarly and practitioner perspectives, across 11 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 First Nations Studies.
It will prove essential reading for students, academics, and practitioners interested in Hip Hop, social justice, popular culture, music and dance in Australia.
?Hip Hop aesthetics, politics, and education in Australia come alive in this sweeping survey of practices, methods, and voices, including First Nations and other marginalised artists and scholars. An inspired, vital contribution to the literature!?
-Jeff Chang, Can?t Stop Won?t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation
?An antidote to one-size-fits-all descriptions of Hip Hop in Australia. It?s refreshing, real, challenging and inspiring. Academics and Hip Hoppers share stories from across this great southern land, never scared to ask tough questions, never shying away from the richness and complexity of those who love, live and are Hip Hop.?
-Morganics (MetaBass'n'Breath) veteran Australian Hip Hop artist.
?Much more than a set of compelling essays about Australian Hip Hop. Representing Hip Hop Histories, Politics and Practices in Australia speaks with insight and authority to both the emergence and development of a discrete field of studies, and to urgent contemporary debates about what it is to be in, and to make culture in, Australia.?
-Ian Maxwell, Theatre and Performance Studies, University of Sydney.
"Australian Hip Hop is grossly undervalued and marginalised. There is little quality academic research about it. This book brings together practitioners and academics in a wide-ranging and incisive exploration of Australian Hip Hop at the borders of Indigenous and settler culture. It is an important step forward in discussions of Hip Hop in Australia."
-Jon Stratton, Adjunct Professor, UniSA Creative, University of South Australia.
