The Bloomsbury Handbook of Hip Hop Pedagogy is the first reference work to cover the theory, history, research methodologies, and practice of Hip Hop pedagogy. Including 20 chapters from activist-oriented and community engaged scholars, the handbook provides perspectives and studies from across the world, including Brazil, the Caribbean, Scandinavia, and the USA. Organized into four topical sections focusing on the history and cultural roots of Hip Hop; theories and research methods in Hip Hop pedagogy; and Hip Hop pedagogy in practice, the handbook offers theoretical, analytical, and pedagogical insights emerging across sociology, literacy, school counselling and youth organizing. The chapters reflect the impact of critical Hip Hop pedagogies and Hip Hop-based research for educators and scholars interested in radical, transformative approaches to education. Ultimately, the many voices included in the handbook show that Hip Hop pedagogy is a humanizing and emancipatory approach which is redefining the purposes and practices of education.

Reviews for The Bloomsbury Handbook of Hip Hop Pedagogy

""This handbook represents a tremendous breakthrough in the field of education. Like Hip Hop culture itself, which began as a niche subculture and is now the most consumed genre of music and culture in the world, this project comprises the foundation for an education future in which historically marginalized students can find home and belonging within the classroom."" --Shuaib Meacham, Associate Professor in Literacy Education, University of Northern Iowa, USA ""As an educator and artist whose work happens inside academia and in community spaces, this handbook beautifully considers and invites perspectives from scholars and practitioners who are as diverse and dope as Hip Hop."" --Aysha Upchurch, Director of Hiphopex Research Initiative, Project Zero at Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard University, USA ""Editors Lauren Leigh Kelly and Daren Graves offer an expansive understanding of Hip Hop pedagogy through their release of The Bloomsbury Handbook of Hip Hop Pedagogy."" --Historical Studies in Education
