A influência dos Racionais Mc's na cultura e na formação política de Teresina, Piauí, durante o período de 1997 a 2002

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the cultural and political influence of the rap group Racionais MC’s on the peripheral youth of Teresina, Piauí, between 1997 and 2002. It highlights rap music as a tool for resistance, identity building, and political education, especially through the album Sobrevivendo no Inferno. The study examines how the Hip Hop movement was embraced by marginalized youth in Teresina as a means of expression and confrontation of social, racial, and economic inequalities, emphasizing its role in the critical formation of historically oppressed communities.
