“Vem Pra Rua”: Music, Race and Social Media in the Brazilian World Cup Protests of 2013
In Brazil, music and citizenship have long gone hand in hand. Based upon fieldwork in Salvador, Bahia, this article seeks to answer the following question: What is the relationship between Afro-Brazilian percussion, black identity, and youth activism?

The vitality of African American literature derives fr…
