      abstract = {"In this timely, revelatory study, Hisham Aidi examines  the secular and religious movements that have recently  emerged among Muslim youth in the West as a means of  protest against the policies of the "War on Terror." He  interviews artists and activists, and reports from music  festivals and concerts. He explains how certain kinds of  music--particularly hip hop, but also Jazz, gnawa,  Andalusian, Judeo-Arabic, Latin and others--have come to  represent a heightened racial identity and a Muslim  consciousness that criss-crosses the globe. He describes  how western governments--particularly the U.S. and  England--use music in an attempt to deradicalize Muslim  youth abroad. And he explores the increasing radicalization  among Muslim youth in an historical context: looking back  to the Civil Rights movement and to the words of Malcolm X  which have inspired many American Muslims. In all, Aidi has  written a riveting, eye-opening portrait of a growing,  potentially radical segment of the global youth culture"--},
