Mothering and Hip Hop Culture

Mothering and Hip Hop Culture

I’m very pleased to be a part of this newly-released collection from Demeter Press entitled Mothering in Hip Hop Culture: Representation and Experience.  My essay within it focuses on depictions of mothers in rap music and the broader significance of these depictions for rap as a genre, but the collection as a whole offers a wide range of perspectives that are, as Rachel Raimist notes, “deeply theorized through a lens of feminist praxis.”  There’s some very interesting and important material here, so even if I weren’t involved I’d recommend it!
