Hip-Hop and Dismantling the School-to-Prison Pipeline was created for K12 students in hopes that they find tangible strategies for creating affirming communities where students parents advocates and community members collaborate to compose liberating and just frameworks that effectively define the school-to-prison pipeline and identify the nefarious ways it adversely affects their lives. This book is for educators activists community organizers teachers scholars politicians and administrators who we hope will join us in challenging the predominant preconceived notion held by many educators that Hip-Hop has no redeemable value. Lastly the authors/editors argue against the understanding of Hip-Hop studies as primarily an academic endeavor situated solely in the academy. They understand the fact that people on streets blocks avenues have been living and theorizing about Hip-Hop since its inception. This important critical book is an honest thorough powerful and robust examination of the ingenious and inventive ways people who have an allegiance to Hip-Hop work tirelessly in various capacities to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline. .
