THE IruFLUENCE oF RAP IN THE AnAB SPRING ey SaHaANTHA Carurneu-AuGSBURc CollEGE Enculry Anvrson: Dn. Roeenr Srecrcr BSTRACT: Throughout history, music has been influential in social, reli- gious, and political disputes. In the early 21st century, change in the estab- order can be found in expressing the need for reform halfway around the world in the Middle East's Arab Spring. Rap artists such as El General (Tunisia), GAB (Libya), and Omar Offendum (Syria) used their talents to both spark and en- courage protestors during the early days of the Middle Eastern protests that began in late 2010; these protests have since been coined "The Arab Spring." The energy that could have been used to wield guns and bombs was instead poured into protest music that these and other artists produced during this time period. The relatively Western genre of rap music became integral in peaceful citizens protests happening all over the Middle East.

KIMBALL UNIS—Along a dusty main avenue, past worn freight cars piled on railroad tracks and Tyoung men smoking at sidewalk cafés beside shuttered shops, lies Kasserine, a town unremarkable in its poverty. Tucked deep in the Tunisian interior, Kasserine is 200 miles from the capital, in a region where decades of neglect by Tunisia’s rulers has led ANE H to a state of perennial despair.

  • When Art Is the Weapon: Culture and Resistance Confronting Violence in the Post-Uprisings Arab World

Esposito Received: 6 August 2015 / Accepted: 23 September 2015 / Published: 5 November 2015 Abstract: This article examines the explosion of artistic production in the Arab world during the so-called Arab Spring. Focusing on music, poetry, theatre, and graffiti and related visual arts, I explore how these “do-it-yourself” scenes represent, at least potentially, a “return of the aura” to the production of culture at the edge of social and political transformation. At the same time, the struggle to retain a revolutionary grounding in the wake of successful counter-revolutionary moves highlights the essentially “religious” grounding of “committed” art at the intersection of intense creativity and conflict across the Arab world. Keywords: Arab Spring; revolutionary art; Tahrir Square What to do when military thugs have thrown your mother out of the second story window of your home? If you’re Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuta, Africa’s greatest political artist, you march her coffin to the Presidential compound and write a song, “Coffin for Head of State,” about the murder. Just to make sure everyone gets the point, you use the photo of the crowd at the gates of the compound with her coffin as the album cover [1].

  • Hip Hop from '48 Palestine
    Social Text Hip Hop from ’48 Palestine Youth, Music, and the Present/Absent Sunaina Maira and Magid Shihade This essay sheds light on the ways in which a particular group of Palestin- ian youth offers a critical perspective on national identity in the colonial present, using hip hop to stretch the boundaries of nation and articulate the notion of a present absence that refuses to disappear. The production of identity on the terrain of culture is always fraught in relation to issues of authenticity, displacement, indigeneity, and nationalism and no more so than in the ongoing history of settler colonialism in Palestine. In the last decade, underground hip hop produced by Palestinian youth has grown and become a significant element of a transnational Palestinian youth culture as well as an expression of political critique that has begun to infuse the global Palestinian rights movement. This music is linked to a larger phenomenon of cultural production by a Palestinian generation that has come of age listening to the sounds of rap, in Palestine as well as in the diaspora, and that has used hip hop to engage with the question of Palestinian self- determination and with the politics of Zionism, colonial- ism, and resistance. Our research focuses on hip hop produced by Palestinian youth within the 1948 borders of Israel, a site that reveals some of the most acute contradictions of nationalism, citizenship, and settler colonialism. Through hip hop, a new generation of “1948 Palestinians” is construct- ing national identities and historical narratives in the face of their ongoing erasure and repression.1 We argue that this Palestinian rap reimagines the geography of the nation, linking the experiences of “ ’48 Palestinians” to those in the Occupied Territories and in the diaspora, and producing an archive of censored histories.

    “THEY WASN’T MAKIN’ MY KINDA MUSIC”: HIP-HOP, SCHOOLING, AND MUSIC EDUCATION By Adam J. Kruse A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ABSTRACT “THEY WASN’T MAKIN’ MY KINDA MUSIC”: HIP-HOP, SCHOOLING, AND MUSIC EDUCATION By Adam J. Kruse With the ambition of informing place consciousness in music education by better understanding the social contexts of hip-hop music education and illuminating potential applications of hip-hop to school music settings, the purpose of this research is to explore the sociocultural aspects of hip-hop musicians’ experiences in music education and music schooling. In particular, this study is informed by the following questions: 1. How do sociocultural contexts (particularly issues of race, space, place, and class) impact hip-hop musicians and their music? 2. What are hip-hop musicians’ perceptions of school and schooling? 3. Where, when, how, and with whom do hip-hop musicians develop and explore their musical skills and understandings? The use of an emergent design in this work allowed for the application of ethnographic techniques within the framework of a multiple case study. One case is an amateur hip-hop musician named Terrence (pseudonym), and the other is myself (previously inexperienced as a hip-hop musician) acting as participant observer. By placing Terrence and myself within our various contexts and exploring these contexts’ influences on our roles as hip-hop musicians, it is possible to understand better who we are, where and when our musical experiences exist(ed), and the complex relationships between our contexts, our experiences, and our perceptions.
