Editors Elaine B. Richardson, Gwendolyn D. Pough, and Treva B. Lindsey bring together established and rising scholars to examine the work of Hip Hop creators and practitioners, using the genre as a lens to address the crises of this historical moment, marked by attacks on bodily autonomy, LGBTQ+ rights, education, and Black studies. Tracing legacies of queer Black feminist activism and expression through Hip Hop culture and music, this timely anthology recenters queer Black feminism and cements its place in (Black) culture, liberation movements, and education.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This exciting volume shows that Hip Hop is much more than a platform for hegemonic and cisgendered masculinity. It is also the floor from which femme, queer, nonbinary, trans, and feminist subjectives can rise and come into their own. Every serious student and listener of this music should own a copy of this anthology.\"--Roderick A.

Doing Black feminist Hip Hop study with an intentionally Black queer tone, this volume invites the reader to think fresh and anew. It is fierce, it is bold, and it is a critical breath of fresh air.\"--Jeffrey Q.

I thought I had to choose. Queer Black feminism made my world make sense. This book, these writers, and their love for Hip Hop and queer Black feminism remind us we never have to choose. This collection moves across geographies, styles, and histories, taking the reader from Saucy Santana and homolatent masculinity to queer Brazilian Hip Hop, and pushing us to see what Hip Hop can be when we are free of binaries, constraints, and the limits others try to place on our lives.\"--Bettina L.
