Street Dreams and Hip Hop Barbershops: Global Fantasy in Urban Tanzania (Tracking Globalization) - Softcover
Synopsis
For young men in urban Tanzania, barbershops are sites of the struggle to earn a living amid economic crisis. With names like Brooklyn Barber House and Boyz II Men, these workplaces are also nodes in an explosion of popular culture that appropriates images drawn from the global circulation of hip hop music, fashion, and celebrity. Street Dreams and Hip Hop Barbershops grapples with the implications of globalization and neoliberalism for urban youth in Africa today, exploring urban Tanzanians' complex, new ways of understanding their place in the world.

Review
. . . an important ethnography for interpreting the intersection of youth, masculinity, and popular culture. . . . Street Dreams provides a useful means to understand globalization and neoliberalism, particularly as it affects young men in Africa’s informal economies.Vol. 52.3 Dec. 2009 (Alex Perullo Bryant University)
Brad Weiss's ethnography makes a valuable contribution to the body of scholarship that documents and discusses the parts that neoliberal economic policies . . . play in creating gaps between the aspirations of youth and economic realities in Africa. (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute)
