Throughout Africa, artists use hip-hop both to describe their lives
and to create shared spaces for uncensored social commentary,
feminist challenges to patriarchy, and resistance against state
institutions, while at the same time engaging with the global
hip-hop community. In Hip-Hop in Africa, Msia Kibona Clark examines
some of Africa's biggest hip-hop scenes and shows how hip-hop helps
us understand specifically African narratives of social, political,
and economic realities. Clark looks at the use of hip-hop in
protest, both as a means of articulating social problems and as a
tool for mobilizing listeners around those problems. She also
details the spread of hip-hop culture in Africa following its
emergence in the United States, assessing the impact of
urbanization and demographics on the spread of hip-hop culture.
Hip-Hop in Africa is a tribute to a genre and its artists as well
as a timely examination that pushes the study of music and diaspora
in critical new directions. Accessibly written by one of the
foremost experts on African hip-hop, this book will easily find its
place in the classroom.
