Religion and Hip Hop brings together the category of religion, Hip
Hop cultural modalities and the demographic of youth. Bringing
postmodern theory and critical approaches in the study of religion
to bear on Hip Hop cultural practices, this book examines how
scholars in religious and theological studies have deployed and
approached religion when analyzing Hip Hop data. Using existing
empirical studies on youth and religion to the cultural criticism
of the Humanities, Religion and Hip Hop argues that common among
existing scholarship is a thin interrogation of the category of
religion. As such, Miller calls for a redescription of religion in
popular cultural analysis - a challenge she further explores and
advances through various materialist engagements. Going beyond the
traditional and more common approach of analyzing rap lyrics, from
film, dance, to virtual reality, Religion and Hip Hop takes a fresh
approach to exploring the paranoid posture of the religious in
popular cultural forms, by going beyond what "is" religious about
Hip Hop culture. Rather, Miller explores what rhetorical uses of
religion in Hip Hop culture accomplish for various and often
competing social and cultural interests.
