For over a decade, educators have looked to capitalize on the appeal of hiphop culture, sampling its language, techniques, and styles as a way of reaching out to students. But beyond a fashionable hipness, what does hiphop have to offer our schools? In this revelatory new book, Marc Lamont Hill shows how a serious engagement with hiphop culture can affect classroom life in extraordinary ways. Based on his experience teaching a hiphopcentered English literature course in a Philadelphia high school, and drawing from a range of theories on youth culture, identity, and educational processes, Hill offers a compelling case for the power of hiphop in the classroom. In addition to driving up attendance and test performance, Hill shows how hiphopbased educational settings enable students and teachers to renegotiate their classroom identities in complex, contradictory, and often unpredictable ways.'One of the most profound, searching, and insightful studies of what happens to the identities and worldviews of high school students who are exposed to a hiphop curriculum.'Michael Eric Dyson, author, Can You Hear Me Now?Hills book is a beautifully written reminder that the achievement gaps that students experience may be more accurately characterized as cultural gapsbetween them and their teachers (and the larger society). This is a book that helps us see the power and potential of pedagogy. From the Foreword by Gloria LadsonBillings, University of WisconsinMadisonBeats, Rhymes, and Classroom Life offers a vibrant, rigorous, and comprehensive analysis of hiphop culture as an effective pedagogy, cultural politics, and a mobilizing popular form.
