ABSTRACT

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.
