   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; islam; hip-hop; social semiotik; afroamerikansk islam; religion;

   Abstract : This dissertation contributes to the field of Islamic Studies by analyzing how the production of Islam can be seen as the outcome of interactions between actors who define themselves as Muslims as well as those who do not. The argument of this dissertation is that Muslims as well as non-Muslims have used Islamic themes in their artistic productions throughout the history of African American music making, making this historical legacy essential to this musical tradition because parts of it are repeatedly evoked in lyrics, sounds, and imagery.

4. 2. Remembering Chile : an entangled history of Hip-hop in-between Sweden and Chile

   Author : Susan Lindholm; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : Hip-hop; Kulturell identitet; Ungdomar; Chile; Sverige; Hiphop;

   Abstract : What does it mean when Hip-hop artists in both Sweden and Chile claim a Chilean or Latino artist identity? How can these identities be understood against the background of the 1973 coup d’état in Chile and its immediate and long-term consequences? This study sets out to answer these questions by focusing on the intersection of Hip-hop culture and the Chilean diaspora in Sweden after 1973. Based on a close reading of lyrics, as well as interviews with Hip-hop artists in both countries, it traces the way in which the artists position themselves, and in turn are positioned in different historical narratives in, and in-between the two countries.
