This article offers a broad and deep discussion of critical issues in the study of language, race, and political economy through an analysis of the verbal art, aesthetics, and performances of South African hip hop artists. In particular, we present an in-depth analysis of the Afrikaaps language movement in Cape Town, South Africa and theorize the language-race-land complex , the range of issues with respect to the co-constitution and refusal of the colonial logics of language, race, and land. Specifically, we address the Afrikaaps language movement in Cape Town, South Africa. Afrikaaps is a South African hiphopera that disrupts white settler colonial logics of language, race, and land through an interrogation and revision of white supremacist constructions of Afrikaans. This reinvention of language, race, and land frees the Afrikaans-speaking, so-called Coloured community from oppressive, colonial logics and offers them new ways of envisioning their linguistic, racial, spatial, and political-economic futures. We argue that, for the artists–activists involved in this decolonial, raciolinguistic movement, Hip Hop becomes a critical vehicle for raising consciousness through language, foregrounding Indigenous knowledge systems, and upending the white supremacist legacies of apartheid through a radical re-education. Methodologically, we center Black and Indigenous artists’ voices, understanding them to be more than cultural producers but also cultural theorists. We draw upon our longitudinal, ethnographic cultural engagement with the Hip Hop artists involved in the theatre production and related forms of language activism (Alim & Haupt 2015, 2017; Haupt 2012; Haupt et al. 2019; Jansen 2019; Jansen et al. 2019; Stroud & Williams 2017; Williams 2018), as well as language and media analyses of the Afrikaaps production, soundtrack, and documentary film (Valley 2010).

“Kom Khoi San, kry trug jou land”：用南非语破坏白人定居者对语言、种族和土地的殖民逻辑

本文通过对南非嘻哈艺术家的语言艺术、美学和表演的分析，对语言、种族和政治经济研究中的关键问题进行了广泛而深入的讨论。特别是，我们对南非开普敦的 Afrikaaps 语言运动进行了深入分析，并对语言-种族-土地复合体、与共同构成和拒绝语言殖民逻辑有关的问题范围进行了理论化。 、种族和土地。具体来说，我们解决了南非开普敦的 Afrikaaps 语言运动。Afrikaaps 是一种南非嘻哈派，它通过对南非荷兰语的白人至上主义结构的审问和修订来破坏白人定居者在语言、种族和土地上的殖民逻辑。这种语言、种族和土地的再创造解放了讲南非荷兰语的人，所谓的有色人种社区摆脱了压迫性的殖民逻辑，并为他们提供了设想他们的语言、种族、空间和政治经济未来的新方式。我们认为，对于参与这场非殖民化、种族语言运动的艺术家和活动家来说，嘻哈成为通过语言提高意识、突出土著知识体系以及通过激进的再教育颠覆种族隔离的白人至上主义遗产的重要工具。在方法论上，我们以黑人和土著艺术家的声音为中心，将他们理解为不仅仅是文化生产者，也是文化理论家。我们利用与参与戏剧制作和相关语言激进主义形式的嘻哈艺术家的纵向民族志文化接触（Alim & Haupt 2015, 2017; Haupt 2012; Haupt et al. 2019; 詹森 2019; 詹森等人。2019; 斯特劳德和威廉姆斯 2017；Williams 2018），以及对 Afrikaaps 制作、配乐和纪录片的语言和媒体分析（Valley 2010）。
