Taking inspiration from Public Enemy's lead vocalist Chuck D - who
once declared that 'rap is the CNN of young Black America' - this
volume brings together leading legal commentators to make sense of
some of the most pressing law and policy issues in the context of
hip-hop music and the ongoing struggle for Black equality.
Contributors include MSNBC commentator Paul Butler, who grapples
with race and policing through the lens of N.W.A.'s song 'Fuck tha
Police', ACLU President Deborah Archer, who considers the 2014
uprisings in Ferguson, Missouri, and many other prominent scholars
who speak of poverty, LGBTQ+ rights, mass incarceration, and other
crucial topics of the day. Written to 'say it plain', this
collection will be valuable not only to students and scholars of
law, African-American studies, and hip-hop, but also to everyone
who cares about creating a more just society.
