Description:

This research examines the relationship between queer justice and hip-hop through a content analysis of videos. It situates queer justice within hip-hop and a call for hip-hop to interrogate the role artists play in condoning violence against LGBTQ+ people.

Review Quotes: "A brilliant and compelling book that highlights the empowering and revolution¬ary nature of Hip Hop, a powerful medium that also highlights the corrupt and malicious criminal justice systems that serve the interests of the powerful. These essays make a profound contribution to the growing grass- roots movement calling for an inclusive, egalitarian, and sustainable future for everyone on the planet." -Dr. David Nibert, Professor of Sociology, Wittenberg University
