Essays on hip-hop feminism featuring relevant, real conversations about how race and gender politics intersect with pop culture and current events. For the Crunk Feminist Collective, their academic day jobs were lacking in conversations they actually wanted. To address this void, they started a blog that turned into a widespread movement. The Collectiveâs writings foster dialogue about activist methods, intersectionality, and sisterhood. And the writersâ personal identitiesâas black women; as sisters, daughters, and lovers; and as television watchers, sports fans, and music loversâare never far from the discussion at hand. These essays explore âSex and Power in the Black Church,â discuss how âClair Huxtable is Dead,â list âFive Ways Talib Kweli Can Become a Better Ally to Women in Hip Hop,â and dwell on âDating with a Doctorate (She Got a Big Ego?).â Self-described as âcritical homegirls,â the authors tackle life stuck between loving hip hop and ratchet culture while hating patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism. âRefreshing and timely.â âBitch Magazine âOur favorite sister bloggers.â âElle âBy centering a Black Feminist lens, The Collection provides readers with a more nuanced perspective on everything from gender to race to sexuality to class to movement-building, packaged neatly in easy-to-read pieces that take on weighty and thorny ideas willingly and enthusiastically in pursuit of a more just world.â âAutostraddle âMuch like a good mix-tape, the book has an intro, outro, and different layers of based sound in the activist, scholar, feminist, women of color, media representation, sisterhood, trans, queer and questioning landscape.â âLambda Literary Review |
