Volume 6, Issue 2: Brazil

Hip-Hop in Brazil: Diaspora, Resistance, and Cultural Power explores Brazilian hip-hop as a powerful site of Afro-Brazilian resistance and cultural production. Brazilian hip-hop is not a copy of U.S. culture — it is a powerful movement rooted in Afro-Brazilian struggle and community organizing. This issue explores how artists and activists use hip-hop to challenge racism, state violence and inequality across Brazil.
