Overtones of Resistance within Black Vernacular Culture is a piece of academic work outlining what studying popular music can reveal about the formation of ‘Black Atlantic’ culture. It aims to embody a contradiction to hegemonic, colonial and racist ideas and also to elaborate on the notions of diaspora and popular music.
