"In this timely, revelatory study, Hisham Aidi examines the secular and religious movements that have recently emerged among Muslim youth in the West as a means of protest against the policies of the "War on Terror." He interviews artists and activists, and reports from music festivals and concerts. He explains how certain kinds of music--particularly hip hop, but also Jazz, gnawa, Andalusian, Judeo-Arabic, Latin and others--have come to represent a heightened racial identity and a Muslim consciousness that criss-crosses the globe. He describes how western governments--particularly the U.S. and England--use music in an attempt to deradicalize Muslim youth abroad. And he explores the increasing radicalization among Muslim youth in an historical context: looking back to the Civil Rights movement and to the words of Malcolm X which have inspired many American Muslims. In all, Aidi has written a riveting, eye-opening portrait of a growing, potentially radical segment of the global youth culture"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Some of those stops–the US, the UK, France, Turkey and of course North Africa and the Middle East–are familiar and expected. Others–Poland, Belgium, Brazil–are full of surprises. All along the way Aidi interweaves threads of race, class, migration, politics and public discourse, but the focus always tilts back towards how that has shaped music and what the meaning of “cool” has been in Islamic culture in different places over time.
It's a deep, intense, world-spanning read written by a true expert and I highly recommend it.
