Overview

Hip Hop Studies and Queer Black Feminism presents a dynamic and much-needed fresh analysis of Black gendering and racialized sexualities in the sphere of Hip Hop. Editors Elaine B. Richardson, Gwendolyn D. Pough, and Treva B. Lindsey bring together established and rising scholars to examine the work of Hip Hop creators and practitioners, using the genre as a lens to address the crises of this historical moment, marked by attacks on bodily autonomy, LGBTQ+ rights, education, and Black Studies. This timely anthology recenters queer Black feminism and traces legacies of queer Black feminist activism and expression through Hip Hop culture and music, cementing queer Black feminism's place in (Black) culture, liberation movements, and education.
