Description
Summary:In Hip Hop Ukraine, we enter a world of urban music and dance competitions, hip hop parties, and recording studio culture to explore unique sites of interracial encounters among African students, African immigrants, and local populations in Ukraine. Adriana N.

She maps the complex trajectories of musical influence-African, Soviet, American-to show how.
