Focusing on the aesthetics, the language, and the performativity of Hip Hop, this book pays attention to the life stance, the philosophy, and the spiritual beliefs of Australian Indigenous Hip Hop artists as 'glocal' producers and consumers. With Hip Hop as its main point of analysis, the author investigates, interrogates, and challenges categories and preconceived ideas about the critical notions of authenticity, 'Indigenous' and dominant values, spiritual practices, and political activism. Maintaining the emphasis on the importance of adopting decolonizing research strategies, the author utilises qualitative and ethnographic methods of data collection, such as semi-structured interviews, informal conversations, participant observation, and fieldwork notes. Collaborators and participants shed light on some of the dynamics underlying their musical decisions and their view within discussions on representations of 'Indigenous identity and politics'. Looking at the Indigenous rappers' local and global aspirations, this study shows that, by counteracting hegemonic narratives through their unique stories, Indigenous rappers have utilised Hip Hop as an expressive means to empower themselves and their audiences, entertain, and revive their Elders' culture in ways that are contextual to the society they live in. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in hip hop and religion. 606 $aRap (Music)$xPolitical aspects$zAustralia 606 $aRap (Music)$xSocial aspects$zAustralia 606 $aAboriginal Australians$vMusic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHip-hop$zAustralia 606 $aMusic - Contemporary - Hip Hop$2aiatsiss 606 $aMusic - Contemporary - Rap$2aiatsiss 606 $aMusic - Theory and criticism$2aiatsiss 606 $aSocial identity - Mixed descent$2aiatsiss 606 $aSocial identity - Aboriginality$2aiatsiss 606 $aArt - Artists - Women$2aiatsiss 606 $aLanguage$2aiatsiss 606 $aSocial behaviour$2aiatsiss 606 $aReligion$2aiatsiss 606 $aArt - Artists - Men$2aiatsiss 606 $aPolitics and Government - Political action - Activism$2aiatsiss 615 0$aRap (Music)$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aRap (Music)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHip-hop 615 7$aMusic - Contemporary - Hip Hop. 615 7$aMusic - Contemporary - Rap. 615 7$aMusic - Theory and criticism. 615 7$aSocial identity - Mixed descent. 615 7$aSocial identity - Aboriginality. 615 7$aArt - Artists - Women. 615 7$aLanguage. 615 7$aSocial behaviour. 615 7$aReligion. 615 7$aArt - Artists - Men. 615 7$aPolitics and Government - Political action - Activism. 676 $a782.4216490994 700 $aMinestrelli$b Chiara$01820535 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959694303321 996 $aAustralian indigenous hip hop$94382786 997 $aUNINA
