ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Minute: On Cultural Appropriation and Power

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Minute

Available for over a year

Is cultural appropriation about an exchange of culture, or is it the politics of power? British author Afua Hirsch is half-Ghanaian and half-English. She's written a book about identity and race. She tells us that in an unequal society, sampling other cultures perpetuates the legacy of historic exploitation.
