Freedom Moves: Theorizing Hip Hop as Black Liberatory Practice
H. Samy Alim
Equity & Excellence in Education, v56 n4 p517-525 2023
This article theorizes Hip Hop as Black liberatory practice by explicating the links between Hip Hop knowledges, pedagogies, and futures. I draw on multiple research and classroom experiences, including co-teaching a course with pioneering Hip Hop artist Chuck D of Public Enemy. The course examined Hip Hop culture as an extension of Black freedom culture and delved into the politics and the poetics, as well as the activism and the aesthetics, of the Hip Hop arts movement. Presented in interview format, this article highlights Hip Hop as an organic form of culturally sustaining pedagogy that aims to advance the Black liberatory practices that we refer to as "freedom moves" (Alim et al., 2023).
