- 요약This research addresses the intersection of youth performance, language practices, and resistance politics in postcolonial Tanzania, examining the language variation of English and Swahili-referred to as Swanglish-n contemporary hip-hop and spoken word art in the country's largest city, Dar es Salaam. I posit that youth artists in Dar es Salaam use Swanglish in both live and mediated spaces of performance to construct and mobilize a sociocultural identity that is both distinct to postcolonial Tanzanian nationhood and inseparable from an urban, transnational and global imaginary. This project examines this claim by (1) analyzing the interchange of Swahili and English within Dar es Salaam's rapidly growing community of hip-hop and spoken word artists, and (2) analyzing how this emerging Swanglish community (re)asserts a claim to the public both in physical performance spaces in Dar es Salaam and digitally via social media. Through an empirical study of language use, my research examines the ways in which residents of Dar es Salaam deploy language and genre to define both culture and political community, with youth identity construction playing a central role in postcolonial Tanzanian identity formation. While this is a study of how a language variety and genre are shaping youth culture, the broader implications of this research speak to concerns about African youth self-determination and global hip-hop, providing new perspectives on what it means to not only be Tanzanian but African in the world today.
