#NCTE20 Series Spotlight: Hip-Hop Education edited by Edmund Adjapong and Chris Emdin.
Hip-Hop Education is a sociopolitical movement that utilizes both online and offline platforms to advance the utility of hip-hop as a theoretical framework and practical approach to teaching and learning. The movement is aimed at disrupting the oppressive structures of schools and schooling for marginalized youth through a reframing of hip-hop in the public sphere, and the advancement of the educative dimensions of the hip-hop culture.
This series argues that hip-hop embodies the awareness, creativity and innovation that are at the core of any true education.
The first two volumes, Youth Culture Power and HipHopEd, are available now. Find out more: https://bitly.com/2IO4sCc
