""All hip hop scholars inevitably situate themselves in hip hop as a starting point for their inquiry. Few do it as brilliantly as Aisha S. Durham. A major contribution to the field of hip hop studies, Home with Hip Hop Feminism masterfully broadens our understanding of the complexities of hip hop feminist thought."" (Bakari Kitwana, author of The Hip Hop Generation: Young Blacks and the Crisis in African-American Culture) ""Home with Hip Hop Feminism is the epitome of artistic and intellectual excellence, Aisha S. Durham writes with deep generosity, beautiful care, and an abiding love for black women whose experiences and visions of home include a wide range of expressions and relationships. This is a hip hop feminism that accounts for media, culture, and performance with the poetic perfection of a homegrown writer who remembers our mothers, icons, and homegirls."" (Ruth Nicole Brown author of Black Girlhood Celebration: Toward a Hip-Hop Feminist Pedagogy)
