From East Harlem to Cape Town: Tupac Shakur's legacy as a globalised oppositional repertoire
For marginalised people living in Cape Town, South Africa, rapper Tupac Shakur represents a globalised oppositional repertoire that people draw on for strength and esteem. The study focused on 22 purposefully sampled interviews from township communities throughout Cape Town, which were conducted within a broader multi-year research project that focused on street culture and gangs in the city.

Street cultural scholarship draws heavily on Bourdieusian social theory to explain how criminal social practices are both generated by and generative of the conditions of marginality.
