PERFORMING IDENTITY PERFORMING CULTURE - MICHEL...

Performing Identity Performing Culture: Hip Hop as Text  Pedagogy  and Lived Practice is the
first book-length ethnography of young people and their uses of hip hop culture. Originally
published in 2001  this second edition is newly revised  expanded  and updated to reflect
contemporary currents in hip hop culture and critical scholarship  as well as the epochal
social  cultural  and economic shifts of the last decade. Drawing together historical work on
hip hop and rap music as well as four years of research at a local community center  Greg
Dimitriadis argues here that contemporary youth are fashioning notions of self and community
outside of school in ways educators have largely ignored. His studies are broad-ranging: how
two teenagers constructed notions of a Southern tradition through their use of Southern rap
artists like Eightball & MJG and Three 6 Mafia  how young people constructed notions of history
through viewing the film Panther  a film they connected to hip hop culture more broadly  and
how young people dealt with the life and death of hip hop icon Tupac Shakur  constructing
resurrection myths that still resonate and circulate today.
