The Sounds and Rhythms of Afro-Arab Internationalism
SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Lubin's analysis focuses on the identities and actions of communities that translate their politics and poetics into other discursive forms, seeking liberation. "Seriously" reading global hip-hop as a transnational linkage of the voices of the dispossessed and oppressed, Lubin argues that reading and understanding the new geography of liberation that such discursive communities create is also a way of recognizing how such spaces and forms of community-the borderless and refugee-are always already breaking out of fixed rhythms and identities to produce new belongings and beats.
