Interweaving songs and personal interviews with hip-hop artists and activists including Chuck D of Public Enemy, KRS-One, Rosa Clemente, manager of dead prez, and Wise Intelligent of Poor Righteous Teachers, Cheney links late twentieth-century hip-hop nationalists with their nineteenth-century spiritual forebears. Cheney examines Black nationalism as an ideology historically inspired by a crisis of masculinity. Challenging simplistic notions of hip-hop culture as simply sexist or misogynistic, she pays particular attention to Black nationalists? historicizing of slavery and their visualization of male empowerment through violent resistance. She charts the recent rejection of Christianity in the lyrics of rap nationalist music due to the perception that it is too conciliatory, and the increasing popularity of Black Muslim rap artists. Cheney situates rap nationalism in the 1980's and 90's within a long tradition of Black nationalist political thought which extends beyond its more obvious influences in the mid-to-late twentieth century like the Nation of Islam or the Black Power Movement, and demonstrates its power as a voice for disenfranchised and disillusioned youth all over the world. 606 $aRap (Music)$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican American men$xAttitudes 606 $aMasculinity$zUnited States 606 $aSex role$zUnited States 606 $aBlack nationalism$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aRap (Music)$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aAfrican American men$xAttitudes. 615 0$aMasculinity 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aBlack nationalism$xHistory. 676 $a306.4/84249/08996073 700 $aCheney$b Charise L$01585271 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783769403321 996 $aBrothers gonna work it out$93869736 997 $aUNINA
