Hip-Hop as Philosophical Text and Testimony: Can I Get a Witness? - Hardcover

by Lissa Skitolsky (Author)

The author defends the philosophical value of underground hip-hop through illustrating how the culture significantly contributes to debates in multiple academic fields. She also examines the exclusion of hip-hop from discourses on knowledge, racism, genocide, and trauma as a reflection of the neoliberal sensibility that hip-hop exposes and opposes.
