Rebel Music - Resistance through Hip Hop and Punk

A volume in Critical Constructions: Studies on Education and Society
Series Editor: Curry Stephenson Malott, West Chester University of Pennsylvania
Arising from the street corners and underground clubs, Rebel Music: Resistance
through Hip Hop and Punk, challenges standardized schooling and argues for
equity, peace, and justice. Rebel Music is an important, one-of-a-kind book that
takes readers through fun, radical, educational chapters examining Hip Hop and
Punk songs, with each section addressing a particular social issue. Rebel Music
values the experiences found in both movements as cultural capital that is de-valued in the current oppressive,
standard, test-driven, rule-bound, and corporate schooling experience, making youth "just another brick in the
wall." This collection is a "rebel yell" to administrators, teachers, parents, police, politicians, and counselors who
demonize Hip Hop and Punk to listen up and respect youth culture. Finally, Rebel Music is a celebration of
radical voices and an organizing tool for those who use music to challenge oppression.
