This book explores the rich intersection between faith, religion
and performing arts in culture-based youth groups. The
co-constitutive identity-building work of music, performance, and
drama for Samoan and Sudanese youth in church contexts has given
rise to new considerations of diversity, cultural identity and the
religious practices and rituals that inform them. For these young
people, their culture-specific churches provide a safe if "imagined
community" (Anderson, 2006) in which they can express these
emerging identities, which move beyond simple framings like
"multicultural" to explicitly include faith practices. These
identities emerge in combination with popular cultural art forms
like hip hop, R-&-B and gospel music traditions, and
performance influences drawn from American, British and European
popular cultural forms (including fashion, reality television,
social media, gaming, and online video-sharing). The book also
examines the ways in which diasporic experiences are reshaping
these cultural and gendered identities and locations.
