Book Description
In WE IS YALL, Rabble gives creative and poetic prose to many of today's seemingly American conundrums while juxtaposing historical facts of our origin and culture. The bantering of Left or Right views. The extractive nature of our culture and determination to ignore warnings from Ancestral knowledge. How community continues and exists in a ghetto - the building foundations for meeting the needs of everyone. And contrasts the privilege and precariousness of American life with politics, money and guns. As an anthology to this time, when we can revolutionize our ways of viewing ourselves and what the future may be, in the voice of a poet from the Hip Hop generation.

For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood... and the Rest of Y'all Too
Author: Christopher Emdin

ISBN: 0807028029
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
A New York Times Best Seller "Essential reading for all adults who work with black and brown young people...Filled with exceptional intellectual sophistication and necessary wisdom for the future of education."—Imani Perry, National Book Award Winner author of South To America An award-winning educator offers a much-needed antidote to traditional top-down pedagogy and promises to radically reframe the landscape of urban education for the better Drawing on his own experience of feeling undervalued and invisible in classrooms as a young man of color, Dr. Christopher Emdin has merged his experiences with more than a decade of teaching and researching in urban America. He takes to task the perception of urban youth of color as unteachable, and he challenges educators to embrace and respect each student’s culture and to reimagine the classroom as a site where roles are reversed and students become the experts in their own learning. Putting forth his theory of Reality Pedagogy, Emdin provides practical tools to unleash the brilliance and eagerness of youth and educators alike—both of whom have been typecast and stymied by outdated modes of thinking about urban education. With this fresh and engaging new pedagogical vision, Emdin demonstrates the importance of creating a family structure and building communities within the classroom, using culturally relevant strategies like hip-hop music and call-and-response, and connecting the experiences of urban youth to indigenous populations globally. Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, Emdin demonstrates how by implementing the “Seven Cs” of reality pedagogy in their own classrooms, urban youth of color benefit from truly transformative education.

We Tried to Tell Y'All
Author: Meredith D. Clark
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190068140
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
"For decades, Black folks in America have used different media technologies with the express purpose of telling the truth about themselves and their experiences. "We Tried to Tell Y'all" adds to this rich history by positioning Black Twitter as both a space for building and sustaining community connections, as well as a tool for the development of digital counternarratives that stand in juxtaposition to news media coverage that distorts the reality of what it's like to be Black in America in the early 21st century. Drawing on interviews, personal observation, and news analysis, the book offers insight on the dynamic nature of how Black social media users' experiences on platform shaped social movements, elevated the voices of Black women intellectuals from all walks of life, and repeatedly shifted popular culture. As part of the emerging canon on Black digital cultural studies, the book is a testament about the gap between who the news media say Black people are, and who we know ourselves to be"--
