This book investigates how practitioners of Hip Hop negotiate identity and belonging in contemporary Israel. An interdisciplinary, ethnographic approach illustrates how practitioners embody the paradox of political disparity and co-existence through their eclectic musical idiom and through the social aspects of the music-making process.
