Reflexivity in French Rap offers a new look at French rap's position in the cultural landscape. Emily Q. Shuman examines how French rappers hold up a mirror to themselves and to their social world, playing off the terms of debate over the music's aesthetic value and place in the French social imaginary. Shuman shows how French rappers channel commonly held beliefs about their musical genre into the lyrical, sonic, and visual qualities of their performances.
