Global Linguistic Flows by H. Samy Alim, Awad Ibrahim, and Alastair Pennycook challenges the norms of scholarly discussions of hip-hop to offer a new perspective on hip-hop's global impact on the world. The authors Alim, Awad and Alister are associate professors at Stanford University and are affiliated with the Anthropology along with the Department of Linguistics. Their research offers a range of perspectives on hip-hop in different regions and on the analysis of the use of the hip-hop genre as an outlet for political, racial, class or identity construction. Through this scholarly discussion we are exposed to the real-life regions that are struggling to find their place in the global hip-hop nation and the difficulty of bringing their locality and problems to the global front. Global Linguistic Flows is accessible to anyone interested in this topic and easily opens to a wide audience. Likewise, the author's social experiment occurs by identifying hip-hop as an international culture and a language of musical resistance that binds youth around the world. The main arguments put forward by Alim are the different viewpoints adopted by indigenous cultures to define the origin of hip-hop and they claim hip-hop as rightfully theirs. For example, in West Africa African Americans are believed to continue the spread of black music from griots in Africa to rap in America. Rap music was a way to return to Africa in the form of modern griots in their form of appropriation. Aboriginal Australians explain how hip-hop is already part of their culture. The Australian Aboriginal use of hip-hop culture appropriation is to cross, talk to the beat and change styles. Instead trying to locate the site and find the exact reasons for... middle of the paper... the politics of pedagogy in hip-hop, such as hip-hop's low literacy practices and the spoken word. In order to spread the message that different students often possess different and not deficient syntactic and literacy practices. The source is valuable in its goal to resist the mainstream negative stereotypical attitude of hip-hop as violent, misogynistic, and gangster music. In the voice and articulation of unrepresented local youth in providing awareness and resistance within their communities. There is a partial attitude against the perspective of global linguistic flows because the authors are pro-hip hop and support the spread and integration of hip hop within societies and new cultures. Although this has mixed results in a person's language or culture and they may have to conform to integrate hip hop into their society, as Japan and Korea have demonstrated.
