Description
Book SynopsisBeats Not Beatings: The Rise of Hip Hop Criminology is a powerful, radical, intersectional scholarly-activist collection of liberation-based articles by Mic Crenshaw, Chandra Ward, Maurece Graham, Daniel White Hodge, Anthony J. Nocella II, Antonio Quintana, Andrea N. Hunt, Tammy D. Rhodes, Kenneth Culton, andre douglas pond cummings, Victor Mendoza, Adam de Paor-Evans, Lenard G. Gomes, Elloit Cardozo, and Tasha Iglesias that center marginalized and oppressed stories and experiences. This book emerged out of the Black Lives Matter and prison abolition movements. This collection challenges state violence as well as racist and classist laws such as the school-to-prison pipeline, redlining, three strikes, mandatory minimums, truancy, felons cannot vote, check the box, and curfew. This thoughtprovoking, insightful text demands that those affected by the criminal justice system should be leading the conversation on how it is broken, managed, and needs to be transformed.
