The study determined if the hip hop culture influenced the collegiate experience, specifically attitude, socialization, and personal goals. Qualitative research methodology resulted in the use of semi-structured interviews. Participants were traditional undergraduate students who self-identified as listening to hip hop music at Ball State University. Data were collected in January and February of 2006.The hip hop culture influenced the socialization of the student participants. Participant attitude was seldom influenced by the hip hop culture. Mainstream hip hop had minimal influence on the personal goals of students. The hip hop culture was more than music to the undergraduate students; it was a way of life and provided the motivation to pursue an education. / Department of Educational Leadership

Para chegar a tal objetivo tomou-se como referência a trajetória de vida de Márcio Brown: jovem negro que, ao relatar sua memória pautada por questões raciais, expõe elementos coletivos que nos permitem entender o momento de consolidação deste movimento em sua cidade. Intencionamos, a partir de um relato autobiográfico, explicar processos de subjetivação que levam a mobilizações político-raciais e, ao mesmo tempo, problematizar conceitos como raça, racismo, essencialismo, cultura, diáspora Africana e identidade / This research has as main aim to understand the establishment of Hip Hop movement in the city of Sorocaba (SP) through the black experience.
