Introduction
This course takes on two of the most important topics in contemporary times, global Islam and global hip-hop. Hip-hop culture has been deemed the most important youth culture in the world today according to many sources. Despite its transnational reach, hip-hop is at the same time complex in its practices, reflecting the environments in which it is produced.
Islam is also the most debated religion in mainstream media and political circles. The course will analyse the social, political, religious and legal impact of the interactions between Islam and hip-hop. Using sociological lens, we will probe the major controversies surrounding the appropriation of hip-hop by young Muslims over the last five decades. Through the use of academic writings, music and documentaries, this course will explore how the interaction between Islam and hip-hop has led to profound social change.
