<br><p class="">ABSTRACT</p><p>The Muslim-dominated
‘Swahili coast’ has always served as a conceptual as well as physical
periphery for post-colonial Kenya. This article takes Kenyan youth music
under the influence of global hip-hop as an ethnographic entry into the
dynamics of identity and citizenship in this region. Kenyan youth music
borrows from global hip-hop culture the idea that an artist must
‘represent the real’. The ways in which these regional artists construct
their public personae thus provide rich data on ‘cultural citizenship’,
in Aihwa Ong's (1996) sense of citizenship as subjectification. I focus
here on youth music production in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa
between 2004 and 2007. During this time, some local artists adopted a
representational strategy that subtly reinscribed the symbolic violence
to which members of the coast's Muslim-Swahili society have long been
subjected. I examine the representational strategies that were adopted
during this period by Mombasan artists who happened to be members of the
Muslim-Swahili society (‘subjects of the Swahili coast’, as I name
them), with an ethnographic eye and ear trained on what they say about
the ways in which young subjects of the Swahili coast are objectified
and subjectified as ‘Kenyan youth’ in the twenty-first century.</p><p><a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0001972012000502" target="_blank">
