Críticas:

The section on the `academization of hip-hop' - what the book's title describes as `hip-hop within the academy' - was promising as it is an area that is rarely well covered compared to the more common emphasis on the convergences of youth, politics and hip-hop. . . .Snell and Soederman are appropriately attuned to the ways in which public education is increasingly inflected by the demands and agendas of the neoliberal state. * Popular Music * Music educators will not be the only ones who benefit from this rounded, wide-ranging and yet focused study on the background, uses, meanings, and educational potential of hip-hop. This very readable account has the rare gift of being both entertaining and scholarly. It gives much food for thought as well as practical advice for teachers, and it represents a much-needed addition to the literature on both hip-hop and music education. -- Lucy Green, Professor of Music Education, UCL Institute of Education, London UK Snell and Soederman's book is a welcome and timely text that draws attention to hip-hop beyond its most visible, commodified forms in popular culture and that challenges the bases of assumptions made surrounding hip-hop scholarship. The authors approach their subject matter with humility, and in doing so, provide a thought-provoking and valuable collection of essays that will surely appeal to scholars in a range of fields, including popular music studies, ethnomusicology, applied ethnomusicology, music education, and music teacher education. -- Gareth Dylan Smith, Institute of Contemporary Music Performance A block party of a book-Snell and Soederman mix and remix educational orthodoxies into a whole new sound. -- Randall Everett Allsup, Teachers College Columbia University

Reseña del editor:

Hip-hop's historical nature as a mouthpiece for marginalized peoples provides a platform for its universal-appeal and contemporary relevancy. Moreover, hip-hop culture's affirmation of a pedagogy of liberation has great potential not only to address many current issues in educational contexts, but also to create more egalitarian ambitions in western public schools.
