Abstract
While more scholarship has appeared over recent years on the subculture of political hip-hop emerging among Palestinian youth across the diaspora, as well as work focusing on the role of gender in the struggle for national liberation, there remains room for the examination of intersectionality and the role of the gendered body in Palestinian cultural resistance. This essay performs a textual analysis of Maysa Daw and DAM’s songs “Jasadik-hom” (“Your Body of Theirs”) and “Meen Inta” (“Who You Are”) to explore how the gendered body is experienced in Palestine, how resistance is enacted through the gendered body, and how the nation is negotiated via that resistance. As a Haifa born-and-raised Israeli-Palestinian musician and actress, Maysa Daw performs both solo and with the Palestinian community’s oldest and most popular rap ensemble, DAM. While Daw’s earlier solo work is engaged with discussions of personal freedom and the limits of individual aspiration in the context of occupation, her collaborations with DAM are more concerned with gender politics and the intersectional struggle of the gendered, Arab body in Palestine. In songs like “Jasadik-hom” and “Meen Inta,” Daw and DAM use their lyrics and the visual rhetoric of their music videos to both convey and scrutinize the intersectionality of oppression experienced by Palestinian women, positioning the discussion of gender equality and the gendered body’s liberation as integral to anti-colonial struggle and national liberation.
