Not only does this article, with its stellar accompanying video (watch it!), show how youth media is global in scope, it also shows how much youth need ways to express themselves. I think that sometimes we take this as a given. “Young people need to express themselves. Duh.” But, often we do not think seriously enough about how to provide them ways to do so. But, then again, youth always find some way to do it. Check out this article to see how young people in China and America are finding ways to express themselves using an intertextual blend of American hip-hop and Chinese culture. (and, thanks Sarah Chu for posting this on FB for all of us to enjoy!)
randomly decided to check your site after posting on your wall and look what i find! thanks for the shout out! i’m glad you enjoyed it and feel the same way. stuff like this is a major source of inspiration for me and makes my heart swell with joy, as i’m constantly in awe of the ways in which people are so creatively and politically proactive. makes me want to go out there and do equally amazing stuff too.
The article is usefull for me. I’ll be coming back to your blog.
