Today hip-hop has evolved into a truly global artform with a diversity of Muslim Islamic discourses expressed. Using tools from the field of social semiotics, this book examines how Islamic themes feature in US hip-hop culture, maintaining a particular awareness that both Muslims as well as non-Muslims participate in their production. The book also argues that there is a historical continuity in the use of Islamic semiotic resources in US musical culture that runs through the entirety of the 20th century and can be observed in gospel, blues and jazz. It is also often connected to African American religious initiatives and African American empowerment politics. 606 $aHip-hop$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIslam$xIn popular culture 606 $aMUSIC / Ethnomusicology$2bisacsh 615 0$aHip-hop$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIslam$xIn popular culture. 615 7$aMUSIC / Ethnomusicology. 700 $aAckfeldt$b Anders$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01817752 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996659455103316 996 $aIslamic Themes in US Hip-Hop Culture$94375887 997 $aUNISA
