Islamic punk (taqwacore) and African American Islamic hip hop


Due

Read Islam in the Mix: Lessons of the Five Percent, by anthropologist Ted Swedenburg (University of Arkansas) [Note: unfortunately many of his links are broken, but you can google to get the same or similar information]. Locate two examples of Islamic hip hop online. Explain how each conveys an Islamic orientation, based on lyrics or images or other features, and how they contrast. (You may locate examples from Swedenburg's article if you wish, or may broaden the search to hip hop worldwide.) 1 page total. Submit via eClass under (12b).

A broader sampling of Islamic hip hop (including Nation of Islam, NGE, and Sunni - along with nashid and Islamic pop generally) can be located here: Muslim Hip Hop

Class

We'll finish watching Taqwacore and discuss it, then talk about Muslim hip hop, as time allows, and wrap that up on Tuesday. Don't forget to submit your draft papers on Tuesday - these can be incomplete, but should show some serious effort in writing and research.
