Hip Hop Studies and Queer Black Feminism presents a dynamic and much-needed fresh analysis of Black gendering and racialised sexualities in the sphere of Hip Hop.

Editors Elaine B. Richardson, Gwendolyn D. Pough, and Treva B. Lindsey bring together established and rising scholars to examine the work of Hip Hop creators and practitioners. They use the genre as a lens to address the crises of this historical moment, marked by attacks on bodily autonomy, LGBTQ+ rights, education, and Black studies.

Tracing legacies of queer Black feminist activism and expression through Hip Hop culture and music, this timely anthology re-centres queer Black feminism and cements its place in (Black) culture, liberation movements, and education.
