N2  - Hip hop is known as a global phenomenon, but something different happened in France, where it has received public support in the form of funding from national and local governments. This book shows how le hip hop reflects a republic of culture rather than a culture industry; a minority identity politics that takes shape as a movement poetics or figural language; and the public valorization of dance as a technique, meriting unemployment compensation and understood as a high-tech knowledge practice
