Jouili * Global Hip Hop Studies * Kamaludeen Mohamed Nasir's Representing Islam argues that hip-hop is for the September 11 Muslim generation a route to freedom of expression, looking at how 'young Muslims [. . .] have embraced and appropriated hip-hop music as their anthem in response to the surging Islamophobia following September 11' (p. 2). . . . This is a solid contribution to hip-hop and popular music studies within Muslim culture and beyond. -- Sikelelwa Anita Mashiy * Popular Music * Kamaludeen Mohamed Nasir's Representing Islam: Hip-Hop of the September 11 Generation . . . sheds new light on understanding and interpreting the articulation, manifestations, and implications of and about Islam in this globalized and digitalized age. . . . A strategic and critical engagement between the micro and macro persoectives in sociology of Islam, Representing Islam is recommended to all students and researchers interested in Islamic religiosity, Muslim popular cultures, and research design in social hermeneutics approaches -- Martin Jiajun He * American Journal of Islam and Society *
