Title: Filipinos Represent Djs Racial Authenticity And The Hiphop Nation
Description: 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.
