In this seminal study of hip-hop literacies, Black identity formation and artivism in Brazil, Dr. Ana Lúcia Silva Souza presents the diverse literacy practices that have emerged within and in relation to Brazil’s hip-hop movement. Ana Lúcia Silva Souza demonstrates how Brazilian hip-hop literacies locate, point out, propose, act and teach others to act for social change. Hip-hop literacies not only teach youth how to resist, but also how to re-exist.
