{"product_id":"9780226819167","title":"Street Scriptures : Between God and Hip-Hop","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores an important aspect of hip-hop that is rarely considered: its deep entanglement with spiritual life.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48667166245099,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":50.35,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780226819167-1.jpg?v=1781613261","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780226819167","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
