Street Dreams and Hip Hop Barbershops – Global Fantasy in Urban Tanzania de Brad Weiss

Street Dreams and Hip Hop Barbershops – Global Fantasy in Urban Tanzania

Autor Brad Weiss
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mai 2009
For young men in urban Tanzania, barbershops are sites of the struggle to earn a living amid economic crisis. With names like Brooklyn Barber House and Boyz II Men, these workplaces are also nodes in an explosion of popular culture that appropriates images drawn from the global circulation of hip hop music, fashion, and celebrity. Street Dreams and Hip Hop Barbershops grapples with the implications of globalization and neo-liberalism for urban youth in Africa today, exploring urban Tanzanians' complex, new ways of understanding their place in the world.

Recenzii

"Dr. Weiss has chosen a very difficult group to study - young men - but also a group about which we urgently need to know much more, since they are increasingly seen, in Africa and elsewhere, as a problem-group that is potentially dangerous. . . . A seminal analysis of the global-local conundrum." Peter Geschiere, University of Amsterdam
