Overview"Beats Not Beatings: The Rise of Hip Hop Criminology is a powerful, radical, intersectional scholarly-activist collection of liberation-based articles by ""Mic"" Crenshaw, Chandra Ward, Maurece Graham, Daniel White Hodge, Anthony J. Nocella II, Antonio Quintana, Andrea N. Hunt, Tammy D. Rhodes, Kenneth Culton, andre douglas pond cummings, Victor Mendoza, Adam de Paor-Evans, Lenard G. Gomes, Elloit Cardozo, and Tasha Iglesias that center marginalized and oppressed stories and experiences. This book emerged out of the Black Lives Matter and prison abolition movements. This collection challenges state violence as well as racist and classist laws such as the school-to-prison pipeline, redlining, three strikes, mandatory minimums, truancy, felons cannot vote, check the box, and curfew. This thoughtprovoking, insightful text demands that those affected by the criminal justice system should be leading the conversation on how it is broken, managed, and needs to be transformed. Critical theorist and Hip Hop activist, Anthony J. Nocella II, an innovative, intersectional public intellectual, pushes educators and society to make connections and think outside the box on how Hip Hop has always had the answers on how to dismantle racism and classism in the U.S. criminal justice system. This book explains how Hip Hop has always had the answer to ending violence and crime in society. It is time to listen; get in where you fi t in, or get out of the way. ""A brilliant and compelling book that highlights the empowering and revolutionary nature of Hip Hop, a powerful medium that also highlights the corrupt and malicious criminal justice systems that serve the interests of the powerful. These essays make a profound contribution to the growing grass-roots movement calling for an inclusive, egalitarian, and sustainable future for everyone on the planet."" —Dr. David Nibert, Professor of Sociology, Wittenberg University ""It is refreshing, exciting and affirming to know that a collection of people have made the conscious decision to document hip-hop’s resistance to the carceral state. A definite must-read for those interested in the relationship between carcerality and self-determination."" —Dr. David Stovall, University of Illinois at Chicago" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Anthony J.

Beats Not Beatings: The Rise of Hip Hop Criminology is a must read book for anyone wanting racial justice and Black liberation. —Tony Quintana, Editor, Transformative Justice Journal “This book is an powerful ode to hip- hop. The essays form a ‘scat’ of hip- hop theory and application taking readers from the patrician streets of a falling Roman Empire to the queering of hip- hop in capitalist war zones. It’s a book of public scholarship designed to resist academic repression and meet readers in the streets where critical thought turns into embodied action.” —Dr. Lea Lani Kinikini, Director, Institute for Research & Engaged Scholarship, University of Hawaii “A brilliant and compelling book that highlights the empowering and revolution¬ary nature of Hip Hop, a powerful medium that also highlights the corrupt and malicious criminal justice systems that serve the interests of the powerful. These essays make a profound contribution to the growing grass- roots movement calling for an inclusive, egalitarian, and sustainable future for everyone on the planet.” —Dr. David Nibert, Professor of Sociology, Wittenberg University “It is refreshing, exciting and affirming to know that a collection of people have made the conscious decision to document hip- hop’s resistance to the carceral state. A definite must- read for those interested in the relationship between carcerality and self- determination.” —Dr. David Stovall, University of Illinois at Chicago “Since its beginnings, Hip Hop culture has always spoken truth to power, addressing state violence and surveillance. Beats not Beatings presents a novel anarchist counter criminology that foregrounds queer, criminalized, and deviant play through abolitionist impulses inherent in Hip Hop.” —Dr. Mechthild Nagel, Professor of Philosophy and Africana Studies, SUNY Cortland Author InformationDr. Anthony J.
