5/14 Draft Questions
1) In Voicing Citizenship: Undocumented Women and Social Media, Jilian Baez says "Analyzing texts on two different platforms (i.e., Facebook and blogs) allowed for triangulation in being able to compare and contrast which kinds of texts invite the most interaction and garner support from audiences" (Baez, 59). What role do you think the usage of multiple social media platforms plays in getting undocumented women's message across? How do the various sites differ in their message or audience?
2) In Somos Mujeres, Somos Hip Hop: Feminism and hip hop in Latin America, Melissa Castillo-Garsow mentions "The extreme violence of Latin America's social realities has meant that hip hop took hold and continues to exist as a youth expression of social realities" (Castillo-Garsow, 337). How does hip hop differ from social media in terms of women expressing their opinions about the harsh realities of society?
3) In Cyphers: Hip Hop and Improvisation, Paul Watkins and Rebecca Caines say "Marsh suggests that these practices allow young people to 'express and make sense of present-day lived experiences, including the ongoing legacies of state-enforced residential school programs and other practices of colonization' " (Watkins and Caines, 2). What is the importance of this practice and how is it related to other practices we have learned about?
4) How do musicians like Black Mama, Caye Cayejera, and Taki Amaru promote social activism and feminist ideas? How do their backgrounds influence their careers and roles as activists?
