Description: Street Is My Pulpit : Hip Hop and Christianity in Kenya, Paperback by Ntarangwi, Mwenda, ISBN 0252081552, ISBN-13 9780252081552, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US To some, Christianity and hip hop seem antithetical. Not so in Kenya. There, the music of Julius Owino, aka Juliani, blends faith and beats into a potent hip hop gospel aimed at a youth culture hungry for answers spiritual, material, and otherwise. Mwenda Ntarangwi explores the Kenyan hip hop scene through the lens of Julianis life and career. A born-again Christian, Juliani produces work highlighting the tensions between hip hops forceful self-expression and a pious approach to public life, even while contesting the basic presumptions of both. In The Street Is My Pulpit, Ntarangwi forges an uncommon collaboration with his subject that offers insights into Julianis art and goals even as Ntarangwi explores his own religious experience and subjective identity as an ethnographer. What emerges is an original contribution to the scholarship on hip hops global impact and a passionate study of the musics role in shaping new ways of being Christian in Africa.
