"The paper begins with an explanation of the concept of Empire, which is sited as being particularly helpful in a discussion of hip-hop in post-apartheid South Africa. South Africa continues to deal with the economic and political consequences of apartheid while also having to deal with the demands of global capitalism. According to the paper, the use of the term Empire alludes to the complex ways in which power is manifested on the global stage. It is this conception of the notion of Empire that provides a point of entry into a discussion of what the author refers to as hip-hop activism."  Download the entire PDF document here written by Adam Haupt.
