Abstract

This paper explores how Nigerian hip hop music, lyrics, and histories illuminate connections and relationalities, intimacies, and articulations, among and across African and African diasporic communities. Drawing on the works of Lisa Lowe, Stuart Hall, Paul Gilroy, Katherine McKittrick, and others, I demonstrate how these intimacies and articulations allow us to reimagine hip hop, focusing not on origins or beginnings (or African American authenticities) but instead as an expressive transnational mode of cultural production. In this way, I discuss the significance of Black politics in popular music and foreground how intimacies and articulation produce new ways of theorizing race.

尼日利亚嘻哈音乐中亲密关系和表达的理论化

本文探讨了尼日利亚嘻哈音乐、歌词和历史如何阐明非洲和非洲散居社区之间的联系和关系、亲密关系和表达。我借鉴了Lisa Lowe、Stuart Hall、Paul Gilroy、Katherine McKittrick等人的作品，展示了这些亲密关系和表达方式如何让我们重新想象嘻哈，而不是关注起源或起源（或非裔美国人的真实性），而是作为一种富有表现力的跨国文化生产模式。通过这种方式，我讨论了黑人政治在流行音乐中的意义，并展望了亲密关系和表达如何产生种族理论的新方式。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
