The world of hip - hop is saturated with religion but rarely is that element given serious consideration. In Street Scriptures Alejandro Nava focuses our attention on this aspect of the music and culture in a fresh way combining his profound love of hip - hop his passion for racial and social justice and his deep theological knowledge. Street Scriptures offers a refreshingly earnest and beautifully written journey through hip - hop's deep entanglement with the sacred. Nava analyzes the religious heartbeat in hip - hop looking at crosscurrents of the sacred and profane in rap reggaeton and Latinx hip - hop today. Ranging from Nas Kendrick Lamar Chance the Rapper Lauryn Hill and Cardi B to St. Augustine and William James Nava examines the ethical - political mystical - prophetic and theological qualities in hip - hop probing the pure sonic and aesthetic signatures of music while also diving deep into the voices that invoke the spirit of protest. The result is nothing short of a new liberation theology for our time what Nava calls a \"street theology.\"\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Street Scriptures Between God And Hip - Hop\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Nava Alejandro\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: The University Of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780226819167\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256 Pages, 5 Halftones\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Black \u0026amp; Asian Studies","brand":"Nava Alejandro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49593414779185,"sku":"IN-G-9780226819167","price":32.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780226819167.jpg?v=1753225905","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780226819167-street-scriptures-between-god-and-hip-hop","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
