Introduction to Special IssueHip Hop, Critical Pedagogy, and Radical Education in a Time of CrisisBy Christopher M
The question, remains, much as it does in the study of the heavens, whether hip-hop is, a closed universe—bound to recollapse, in a fireball akin to its birth—or an open one, destined to expand forever, until it is cold, dark, and dead.”[1]
Depending on whom you ask, Hip Hop is in perpetual crisis
Summary
RADICAL TEACHER http://radicalteacher.library.pitt.edu “DO THE REAL HARLEM SHAKE” HARLEM, NYC, PHOTOGRAPH BY CHRIS TINSON. Depending on whom you ask, Hip Hop is in perpetual crisis Those who are concerned about Hip Hop’s fate, mainly artists and fans of the culture, and those who teach and write about it, are in constant debate and dialogue about its traditions, its rituals, its political potential and, in a word, its power. This special edition of Radical Teacher is our attempt to look at one aspect of Hip Hop—its function in the realm of critical education. We do intend for scholars, practitioners, and students whose work is influenced by Hip Hop to join with us in thinking critically about the ethical styles it proffers, the consequences of its academic code switching, and the impact of its pedagogical power moves
