Freedom Moves travels across generations and beyond borders to understand Hip Hop's transformative power as one of the most important arts movements of our time. This book gathers critically acclaimed scholars, artists, and organizers in a wide-ranging exploration of Hip Hop as a set of musical traditions, a powerful catalyst for activism, and a culture that offers us new ways of thinking and doing freedom. Rooting Hip Hop in Black freedom culture, this trailblazing collection presents a globally diverse group of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American, Arab. European, North African, and South Asian contributors. The knowledges cultivated by Hip Hop and spoken word communities represent emerging ways of being in the world. Freedom Moves examines how educators, artists, and activists use these knowledges to inform and expand how we understand our communities, our histories, and our futures.
