Abstract

In this country profile, Mark V. Campbell provides historical, cultural, socio-political and linguistic insights into the formation and existence of hip hop culture in Canada. Focusing on multiple elements within the culture and by exploring the climate of media imperialism that impacts the country’s cultural forms, the contribution provides wide ranging and multiple contexts in which hip hop culture is situated within this large but sparsely populated country.
