Filipinos Represent Djs Racial Authenticity And The Hiphop Nation

About this book

Draws on interviews with Bay Area–based Filipino American DJs to explore the authenticating strategies they rely on to create a niche within DJ culture. He shows that while the engagement of Filipino youth with DJ culture speaks to the broadening racial scope of hip-hop, such involvement also upholds deracialized accounts of hip-hop and renders difference benign. --Publisher's description.
