Hip-hop as survivor testimony? Rhymes as critical text? Drawing on
her own experiences as a lifelong hip-hop head and a philosophy
professor, Dr. Lissa Skitolsky reveals the existential power of
hip-hop to affect our sensibility and understanding of race and
anti-black racism. In each chapter-keenly titled with a notable
hip-hop phrase-she examines how the academic exclusion of hip-hop
from discourses around knowledge, racism, white supremacy,
genocide, white nationalism and trauma reflect the very neoliberal
sensibility that hip-hop exposes and opposes. At this critical
moment in history, in the midst of a long- overdue global reckoning
with systemic anti-black racism, Skitolsky shows how it is more
important than ever for white people to realize that our failure to
see this system-and take hip-hop seriously-has been essential to
its reproduction. In this effort she illustrates the unique power
of underground hip-hop to interrupt our neoliberal and post-racial
sensibility of current events.
