South Africa (v8, i1)
“While we have some brilliant South African contributors, as non-South Africans, I knew we would need to take steps to reflect South African hip-hop culture accurately. Far too often, western-based writers cover African countries with scant understanding of the cultural and historical nuances of the country they’re writing about. The racial and ethnic dynamics within South Africa make that country a particular challenge.”
