N2 - Analyzing Islamic-themed hip-hop and rap in France, the United States, and Denmark, Columbia University researcher and writer Hisham Aidi charts the rise of Islam’s symbolic power as a response to racism, imperialism, and oppression in the West after September 11, 2001. For some Muslims, Islamic hip-hop is an expression of theological or ethical commitments. For many non-Muslims—Latino/as, South Asians, African Americans, and white people in the United States as well as Arabs, Blacks, and Asians in Europe—Islamic themes and symbols also provide a common language of political dissent.
