Today’s level of mass incarceration is unprecedented in history. There are more black men under correctional control today than there were under slavery in 1850. 4 out of 5 drug arrests are for simple possession, 80% for marijuana. Most people in state prison for drug offenses have no history of violence. The “War On Drugs” is economically inefficient. It has failed to reduce drug use and is a human rights disaster. Treating drug use and addiction as a public health issue is more effective at rehabilitating individuals and benefitting the wider community than criminalization. … Enough myths.

With this project particularly I’d like to thank Mwongela Kamencu, aka Monaja for editing and for his translation and analysis of “Angalia Saa.” Brief outline of Kenyan History I’d like to provide a context for understanding East African hip hop. To this end, I’d like to give a brief outline of Kenyan history. • The two official languages in Kenya are KiSwahili and English. There are over 42 other local languages, referred to as “mother tongues.” Swahili is a mixture of coastal Bantu and Arabic. Studies have established that Swahili was actually a Bantu language with heavy Arabic influences. The Swahili people existed before the coming of the Arabs. The Swahili language spread inland with the Arab slave trade. English spread with missionary activity, then colonialism, since the 1880s and 1890s. • In 1920, Kenya became an official colony of the British. White settlers profited from African forced labor on coffee and tea plantations forRead More →
