Artists engage their African communities in a variety of ways that confront established social structures, using coded language and symbols to inform, question, and challenge. Through lyrical expression, dance, and graffiti, hip hop is used to challenge social inequality and to push for social change. The study looks across Africa and explores how hip hop is being used in different places, spaces, and moments to foster change. In this edited work, authors from a wide range of fields, including history, sociology, African and African American studies, and political science explore the transformative impact that hip hop has had on African youth, who have in turn emerged to push for social change on the continent. The powerful moment in which those that want change decide to consciously and collectively take a stand is rooted in an awareness that has much to do with time. Therefore, the book centers on African hip hop around the context of “it's time” for change, Ni Wakati.”Contents:Acknowledgments Introduction — Msia Kibona Clark, Mickie Mwanzia Koster I “Social Ills”: Coming from Behind the Microphone to Effect in Africa 1 Hip Hop Halisi: Continuities of Heroism on the African Political Landscape — Caroline Mose 2 Building Our Nation: Senegalese Hip Hop Artists as Agents of Social and Political Change — Sheba Lo 3 Speaking Truth to Power: Hip Hop and the African Awakening — Amentahru Wahlrab 4 Malian Hip Hop: Social Engagement through Music — Amkoullel L'enfant Peulh II “The Dusty Foot Philosopher”: Hip Hop Voices on Social Change in Africa 5 How Hip Hop Impacts Social Change in Africa — Malle Marxist 6 Redefining the Struggle: Remembering the Mau Mau through Hip Hop Music — Mich Nyazualo 7 Hip Hop, Youth Activism, and the Dilemma of Colored Identity in South Africa — Shaheen Ariefdien, Rico Chapman 8 Beyond Y'en A Marre: Pikine's Hip Hop Youth Say “Enough is Enough” and Pave the Way for Continous Social Change — Asligal Berktay 9 Gender Representations among Tanzanian Female Emcees — Msia Kibona Clark 10 Hip Hop and Social Change in Uganda — Slim MC III “Adjuma”: Hip Hop's Transformation of the Urban Space in Africa 11 Tanzanian MCs vs. Social Discourse — Mejah Mbnya 12 From the Great Island to the African Continent through the Western World: Itineraries of a "Return to the Origins" through Hip Hop Music in Madagascar (2000-2011) — Klara Boyer-Rossol 13 The Musicscapes of a Country in Transition: Cultural Identity, Youth Agency, the Emergent Hip Hop Culture, and the Quest for Socio-Political Change in Sierra Leone — John Idriss Lahai 14 Hip Hop and Sheng in Nairobi: Creating Identity Markers and Expressing a Lifestyle — Katharina Greven Afterword: Reflections on Ni Wakati: Hip Hop and Revolution — Kaman Ngigi Appendix: Le Hip Hop malien ou l'engagement social à travers l'art — Amkoullel L'enfant Peulh Index About the Authors mySku 4853
