Hip-Hop Culture and Social Work: the art to overcome the social invisibility of peripheral youth

Abstract

This article aims to present a critical reading on the interfaces between social invisibility of peripheral youth and the art, hip hop culture. Three subjects were interviewed using the marxist approach and oral history methodology. The research demonstrates that it is important that this art is articulated to the daily life of these youth, based on their significant territorial sociabilities of political actions and affective expressions.
