The Booty as the Beast: Confronting the Booty in the Contexts of Hip Hop Culture and Feminism

Abstract

In my thesis, firstly, I shall offer a brief overview of the glorification of female buttocks in different historical and artistic periods in order to evidence that the current booty phenomenon is everything but new. The next chapter, in a form of a case study analysing Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" music video, explores the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality in connection with the booty.
