Abstract

ABSTRACT Youth sociopolitical development is explored in the context of a hip-hop arts workshop in the Palestinian West Bank. Workshop youth created art vividly expressing their perspectives gained while navigating the Israeli apartheid state. The youth participants’ art is analyzed here to shine a light on its liberatory content, and also to better understand what it is about the genre of hip-hop that affords intifadeh or uprising. The concept of resonance is offered as a way to describe sympathetic vibration between youth voices and hip-hop conventions, including artists repping their hood, preserving culture through sampling, and battling the oppressive “big they.”
