Abstract

This paper looks at how the cultural productions of Marcelo D2, one of the pioneers of Brazilian hip-hop, play into transnational narratives of blackness as well as the vision of the racially mixed nation. By showing the contradictions of race, gender, and sexuality within Marcelo D2’s cultural texts, I examine how these intersecting categories are used to reinvent ideas of Brazilian nationality and an alternative black diasporic identity
