Breakbeat Pedagogy provides a groundbreaking framework for the
inclusion of hip-hop culture in schools. Looking beyond the
previous model of hip-hop-based education, Brian Mooney argues for
school-wide hip-hop events, such as poetry slams, as the ideal site
for students to engage in the elements of hip-hop culture. Working
from the perspective of a classroom teacher, the author reflects on
the story of Word Up!, a hip-hop and spoken word poetry event that
began with students in a New Jersey high school. He makes the case
for a pedagogy with the potential to transform urban schools and
the way we think about them. This is essential reading for any
teacher committed to social justice and culturally relevant
education.
