[ecrea] New book: Rap beyond Resistance: Staging Power in Contemporary Morocco

I am very pleased to announce the recently publication of my new 
book/*Rap beyond Resistance: Staging Power in Contemporary Morocco 
*(https://www.palgrave.com/de/book/9783319601823)./

This book unravels the political economy of music analysing private 
media, state-funded music festivals, self-production and digital culture 
as key elements in non-Western cultural contexts; connects the 
production of certain narratives to the awareness of the politics of the 
cultural field; and combines discourse analysis, producers’ interviews, 
participant observation and field observations gathered over 4 years of 
research in Morocco.

This book fills the gap in existing literature by exploring other forms 
of political discourses in non-Western rap music. Theoretically, it 
challenges and explores resistance, arguing towards the need for 
different epistemological frameworks in which to look at narratives of 
cultural resistance in the Arabic-speaking world.  Empirically, it 
provides an in-depth look at the politics of rap culture in Morocco. Rap 
Beyond Resistance bridges the humanities and social sciences in order to 
de-Westernize cultural studies, presenting the political narratives of 
the Moroccan rap scene beyond secular liberal meanings of resistance. By 
exploring what is political, this book brings light to a vibrant and 
varied rap scene diverse in its political discourses – with an emphasis 
on patriotism and postcolonial national identity – and uncovers 
different ways in which young artists are being political beyond 
‘radical lyrics’.

Published by Palgrave Macmillan.
