About Paris, Burning: French Universalism, Minority Culture and Hip Hop Dance 2001-2015 For two decades, le hip hop has shown another face of France: danced by minorities associated with immigration, it has channeled rage against racism and unequal opportunity and created a movement vocabulary for the expression of the multicultural difference that challenges the universalist discourse of the Republic. Championed by Socialist cultural policy, subsumed into the cultural heritage as concert dance and instituted as a pedagogy, hip hop has staged the burning questions of race and identity within the French Republic of culture. About Felicia McCarren Felicia McCarren is the author of Dance Pathologies: Performance, Poetics, Medicine (1998) and Dancing Machines: Choreographies of the Age of Mechanical Reproduction (2003) both from Stanford University Press.
