We got the power : Asian Americans and hip-hop culture in the Bay Area

This dissertation investigates how Asian Americans of the Bay Area engage hip-hop culture as fans and artists. This is a historiography of Asian Americans participating in Bay Area hip-hop culture that has been masked or hidden. I have devised a methodology less reliant on archival materials (i.e., vinyl records and compact discs) that details the different types of data needed to establish a history of Asian Americans participating in Bay Area hip-hop culture. Data collected facilitates the understanding of how Asian Americans engage hip-hop culture by documenting their participation as emcees, DJs, breakdancers, and graffiti artists.
