History Hash Outs: Disrupting the Flow: Subverting Gender, Class, and Power through Egyptian Hip Hop Culture

Dina El-baradie is a PhD candidate in modern Middle East history, specializing in social and cultural history with a gender focus on masculinity. Her dissertation research is a history and ethnography of the Egyptian rap scene that examines themes of class identity and the construction and performance of masculinities and femininities in youth culture vis-à-vis the dynamics of cultural production in Egypt. Her research also examines Egypt’s place within global cultural flows and media capitalism, interrogating how notions of authenticity, innovation, and artistic legitimacy are negotiated in the rapidly evolving rap scene.
