-What is at least 2 arguments Giddings makes and how does he support (or not support) same?
-Of the 4 Africanisms (oral, spiritual, communal, & matrifocal) argued to exist in Jay-Z's work, which one is the most convincing to you that African Americans have an African cultural heritage; and how does Giddings support the claim?
-Have you ever witnessed these Africanisms, or cultural values, in action within a Black community; how so?
-After considering Jay-Z’s oeuvre, and that of other emcees, do you view Hip-hop as a strength or a challenge in African American communities; how so?
-What are you left wondering about; what questions remain unanswered in your mind? (required!)
It’s Giddings’s belief that Jay-Z’s work and particularly his lyrics can aid in illustrating African Cultural characteristics. These characteristics are innate to African Americans since, throughout most of U.S history, African Americans were not allowed to integrate into European American culture through practices such as slavery and segregation. Since Jay-Z is arguably one of the most accomplished hip-hop emcees’, his musical works are known world-wide, providing a framework for examining and understanding the value and contribution of hip-hop towards African American cultural core values.

These traditions include the adoration of ancestors, elders, and motherhood, the inseparability of spirituality and secular realms, matrilineal family organization, bride-wealth practices, and or record keeping. African American artists are compelled by core impulses to innovate Africanism culture across generations. Such impulses are articulated through imperatives as well as questions as the hip-hop culture evolves. Lastly, black culture is a derivative of African culture and according to historian James Sidbury, the idea of Africa is a creation of the socio-historic power of solemn African descendants in varied areas of the vast African migration.

Of the 4 Africanisms argued to exist in Jay-Z's work his notion of spirituality, religiosity and ethics are the most convincing that African Americans culture encompass African original culture. This is supported by Giddings when he claims that Jay-Z’s hip-hop practices such as the use of free-style ciphers.

Extra regional influence Rastafari experienceGoodridgeS
The Rastafari movement originated in Jamaica in the 1920s from Marcus Garvey's Pan African philosophy. It has since experienced marginalization in the Caribbean but has significantly impacted global culture and politics through reggae music. Reggae lyrics often address political and racial issues, and Bob Marley in particular spread Rastafari beliefs and philosophy worldwide through highly influential songs and albums. Rastafari dress, hairstyles, and dietary practices have also been widely adopted both within and outside of the Caribbean community. However, some Rastafari have also been involved in the illegal drug trade and portrayed negatively as a result.
The document discusses the Great Migration of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North during the early 20th century in search of better economic opportunities and safety from violence and discrimination under Jim Crow laws. It led to the development of Harlem in New York City as the central hub of African American culture and the breeding ground of the Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural, social, and artistic explosion centered in Harlem in the 1920s that featured influential African American figures in literature, art, music, and intellectual thought like Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Zora Neale Hurston. Elements of this cultural movement like jazz music still influence modern American culture today.

The Orient was seen as irrational and different from the rational Occident.
Migration can involve both internal movement within a country and international movement between countries. Key factors that influence migration decisions include economic, political, environmental, and cultural conditions in both origin and destination locations. The distance between locations, intervening opportunities, and social networks affect the direction and extent of migratory flows. Forced migration of refugees occurs when people flee their home country due to persecution, conflict, or disaster.
Africa has immense cultural diversity due to its large size and geographical barriers separating peoples. [1] This has led to hundreds of distinct cultures within various nations and the use of European languages as official government languages. [2] Traditional African cultures place heavy emphasis on extended families and community over the individual. [3] Marriage customs, roles of family members, and beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife vary significantly between different ethnic groups across the continent.
