Ultimately, this volume is about broadening our horizons through hip-hop and embracing the South Asian American community's polycultural legacy and future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAjay Nair\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Vice Provost at the University of Pennsylvania. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMurali Balaji\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer and doctoral fellow at the College of Communications at Pennsylvania State University.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.7 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48620929188089,"sku":"9780739127223","price":106.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/pwhtVX6wXX9780739127223.webp?v=1782980182","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/desi-rap-hip-hop-and-south-asian-america-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
