Produktbeschreibung

In celebration of hip-hop's 50th anniversary, the authors interviewed scholars and community-engaged educators who have contributed to the field of hiphop and education with the goal of reflecting on established research and activism within the field of hip-hop and education. Hip-hop is a culture and art form that was created to advocate and share the experiences and expressions of groups who have been pushed to the margins of society by oppressive practices. Since the 1970s, hip-hop has evolved to become a culture that transcends global borders and all industries including education. The field of hip-hop and education continues to contribute to educational research with innovative concepts and philosophies, scholars have and continue to interrogate how hip-hop can be used and incorporated across all educational spaces.

In this text, scholars and educators were given an opportunity radically dream about the future of hip-hop and education. Their thoughts and perspectives were analyzed and interrogated through the context of educational research. The authors hope that this text serves as a pathway towards not just dismantling oppressive educational structures but dreaming and building what empowering and liberatory education through hip-hop could be across all educational spaces.

Rezensionen

"In their insightful new book, "Teaching for Liberation," Adjapong and Allen remind us that, first and foremost, hip-hop is a culture of possibility. The history of hip-hop illustrates the magic that happens when we allow youth to be free. By pushing us to re-member the cultural and soulful spirit that formed its roots, the authors compel us to give Black and Latinx youth their long due respect. This book also honors the researchers who have long valued the ingenuity of hip-hop youth and staked careers on documenting that brilliance. In the beautiful tradition of the porch and the stoop, readers are gifted the opportunity to witness rich conversations with hip-hop intellectual trailblazers. In these truth-telling talks, these prolific scholars reflect on how far we have come and use that prideful history to propel us forward in new, life-giving directions."
