Hip-Hop and Liberation Theology

This session considers the potential affinities, shared passions, and divergences between liberation theology and the culture of hip-hop. To focus the conversation, we propose to bring into conversation two recently published studies: Alejandro Nava's "Street Scriptures: Between God and Hip-Hop," Chicago, 2022, and Raul Zegarra's "A Revolutionary Faith: Liberation Theology Between Public Religion and Public Reason," Stanford, 2023.
