«On February 2, the Department of Italian Studies at University of Toronto hosted a concert by Italian rapper and educator Amir Issaa. The event started with a question and answer period focused on Issaa’s book, Vivo per Questo, as well as rap as a tool for expression, education, and social justice.The Varsity spoke with Issaa and Angelica Pesarini, an assistant professor in the Department of Italian Studies and the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies, about the event, its connections to the global antiracism movement, and its relevance to students in Canada».
