Hip-hop as survivor testimony? Rhymes as critical text? Drawing on
her own experiences as a lifelong hip-hop head and philosophy
professor, Lissa Skitolsky reveals the existential power of hip-hop
to affect our sensibility and understanding of race and anti-black
racism. Hip-Hop as Philosophical Text and Testimony: Can I Get a
Witness? examines how the exclusion of hip-hop from academic
discourse around knowledge, racism, white supremacy, genocide,
white nationalism, and trauma reflects 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 book, she illustrates the unique power of
underground hip-hop to interrupt our neoliberal and post-racial
sensibility of current events.
