- Summary:
- Mark R. Villegas considers sprawling coast-to-coast hip hop networks to reveal how Filipino Americans have used music, dance, and visual art to create their worlds. Filipino Americans have been exploring their racial position in the world in embracing hip hop's connections to memories of colonial and racial violence. Villegas scrutinises practitioners' language of defiance, placing the cultural grammar of hip hop within a larger legacy of decolonisation. An important investigation of hip hop as a movement of racial consciousness, 'Manifest Technique' shows how the genre has inspired Filipino Americans to envision and enact new ideas of their bodies, their history, and their dignity.
