Detroit is a city that has long been recognized as a center of musical innovation and social change. Rebekah Farrugia and Kellie D. Hay draw on seven years of fieldwork to illuminate the important role that women in Detroit's hip hop underground have played in mobilizing a grassroots response to political and social pressures at the heart of Detroit's ongoing renewal and development project. Focusing on the women-centered hip hop collective The Foundation, Women Rapping Revolution argues that the hip hop underground is a crucial site where Black women shape subjectivity and claim self-care as a principle of community organizing. Through interviews and sustained critical engagement with artists and activists, this study also articulates the substantial role of cultural production in social, racial, and economic justice efforts.

Industry Reviews

"Women Rapping Revolution covers a lot of ground in a relatively condensed space, but it doesn't lack for information or thoughtful analysis. On top of all this, they also manage to make it a very accessible book. Farrugia and Hay do an excellent job of not only getting you to understand all of the different factors in play within the hip hop scene in Detroit, but they'll get the wheels spinning in your head as you consider all of the factors in play in your own city." * Scratched Vinyl *
