HipHopEd: The Compilation on Hip-Hop Education : Volume 2: Hip-Hop as Praxis & Social Justice (New ed)

This second volume in the Hip-Hop Education series highlights knowledge of self as the fifth and often forgotten element of hip-hop.

In many cases, a connection to hip-hop culture is one that has been well embedded in the identity of hip-hop educators.

Historically, academic spaces have had misperceptions and misunderstand the authentic culture of hip-hop, often forcing hip-hop educators to abandon their authentic hip-hop selves to align themselves to the traditions of academia.

This edited series highlights the realities of hip-hop educators who grapple with cultivating and displaying themselves authentically in practice and offers examples of how hip-hop can be utilized in educational spaces to promote social justice.

It provides narratives of graduate students, practitioners, junior and senior scholars who all identify as part of hip-hop.

The chapters in this text explore the intersections of the authors’ lived experiences, hip-hop, theory, praxis and social justice.
