Reviews

'This book's impactful coverage of critical topics such as racism, policing, protest movements, and gender progress should be a must read for undergraduate courses in African-American Studies, Criminal Justice, and Gender Studies. The Editors have ensured that the chapters are both insightful and accessible.' L. Song Richardson, President, Colorado College 'The legal issues raised by this book are crucial for law students to understand. From police racism to mass incarceration to gender norms to the Black Lives Matter movement, these are topics lawyers need to understand. The fact that the analyses emerge from popular hip-hop songs makes them all the more enjoyable to read.' Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Dean, Boston University School of Law
