Making Diaspora in a Global City

The exciting diasporic sounds of the London Asian urban music scene are a cross-section of the various genres of urban music that include bhangra "e;remix,"e; R&B and hip hop styles, as well as dubstep and other "e;urban"e; sample-oriented electronic music. This book brings together a unique analysis of urban underground music cultures in exploring just how members of this "e;scene"e; take up space in "e;super-diverse"e; London. It provides a fresh perspective on the creativity of British South Asian youth culture, and makes a significant sociological intervention into this area by bringing the focus back onto urgent issues of "e;race"e; ethnicity alongside class and gender within youth cultural studies.
