Toward a Chican@ Hip Hop Anti-colonialism

Toward a Chican@ Hip Hop Anti-Colonialism makes visible the anti-colonial, alterNative politics in hip hop texts created by Chican@s and Xican@s (indigenous-identified people of Mexican descent in the United States). McFarland builds on indigenous knowledge, anarchism, and transnational feminism to identify the emancipating power of Chican@ and Xican@ hip hop, including how women and non-gender conforming (two-spirit) MCs open up inclusive alterNative spaces that challenge colonialism and capitalism.

Pancho McFarland is Professor of Sociology at Chicago State University. He is the author of The Chican@ Hip Hop Nation: Politics of a New Millennial Mestizaje and Chicano Rap: Gender and Violence in the Postindustrial Barrio.
