About the book

Native Tongues brings together critical and new writings on rap and hip-hop in Africa. It explores the influence of hip-hop on the continent and brings to light the pressing issues that are echoed in the lyrics and images displayed by youths, from the Townships to South Africa to the streets of Bamako. Readers will learn about the music, both as an art form and a socio-cultural force that shapes youth culture and affects social change.
