Detroit, Michigan, has long been recognized as a center of musical
innovation and social change. Rebekah Farrugia and Kellie D. Hay
draw on seven years of fieldwork to illuminate the important role
that women have played in mobilizing a grassroots response to
political and social pressures at the heart of Detroit's ongoing
renewal and development project. Focusing on the Foundation, a
women-centered hip hop collective, Women Rapping Revolution argues
that the hip hop underground is a crucial site where Black women
shape subjectivity and claim self-care as a principle of community
organizing. Through interviews and sustained critical engagement
with artists and activists, this study also articulates the
substantial role of cultural production in social, racial, and
economic justice efforts.
