Global Linguistic Flows
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 iden-
tities, the politics of language, and the simultaneous processes of globalization
and localization. Focusing closely on
language
, these scholars of sociolinguistics,
linguistic anthropology, (Hip Hop) cultural studies, and critical pedagogies
o er linguistic insights to the growing scholarship on Hip Hop Culture, while
reorienting their respective elds by paying closer attention to processes of
globalization and localization.
e book engages complex processes such as transnationalism, (im)migration,
cultural ow, and diaspora in an e ort to expand current theoretical approaches
to language choice and agency, speech style and stylization, codeswitching and
language mixing, crossing and sociolinguistic variation, and language use and
globalization. Moving throughout the Global Hip Hop Nation, through scenes as
diverse as Hong Kong’s urban center, Germany’s Mannheim inner-city district of
Weststadt
, the Brazilian
favelas
, the streets of Lagos and Dar es Salaam, and the
hoods
of the San Francisco Bay Area, this global intellectual
cipha
breaks new
ground in the ethnographic study of language and popular culture.
