Critical Thinking: Understanding Cause/Effect in Article

What are the main inferences and conclusions of the author?
  • indigenization of rap around the world, including adaptation to "local cultural patterns" (559)
  • code switching in rap for political identity (660)
  • use of regional language as code-switching used to resist majority/larger culture (661)
  • Galician rap tends to use mostly Spanish as "core language" (663), yet DKTE uses all Galician language  (664)
  • ...
What type of culture/environment/artists may these same inferences and conclusions be applied to?


  • Poets...use of colloquialisms, code-switching, regional dialects, etc. for political purposes...
    • Eduardo Corral, as one example; or, our new Poet Laureate of United States: Juan Felipe Herrera
  • Who else....? Your turn!
