The Global Politics of Hip-Hop explores how hip-hop works on the ground and in the daily lives of youth and young adults who create and consume it. The main purpose of the course is to expose students to the diversity of hip-hop and hip-hop scholarship, from Malcolm X to Public Enemy, from global noise to local clubs.

Hip-hop is a global phenomenon that influences social life far beyond the music. The course explores hip-hop s international reach and social significance; specifically in Sweden, the Middle East and in the US.

Through various case studies, the course examines how hip-hop animates local cultural politics in an age of globalized media, migration, and transnationalism.
