Abstract

In this essay, YouTube music videos operate as one of those grey areas
between the closely policed borders of the Greater Europe described above: a space where Black and Serbian hip-hop artists collaborate in narratives that suggest a transnational and transracial workingman’s solidarity, against contemporary Serbian assumptions of ethnic primacy and assertions of European ‘whiteness’. For the past quarter century, Eastern Europe has been seen in terms of Edward Said’s Orientalism, with its imaginative geography and nesting alteritisms; Baker invites us to look through the lens of Paul Gilroy’s Black Atlantic and to see instead lived geopolitical experience and
peripheral solidarities.
