Hip Hop Street Curriculum, Jawanza Kunjufu, 0974900052
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Refuting the myths that black youth are unable to excel at academics and are
limited to careers in professional sports, rap music, or drug dealing, this
motivational book aims to engage teens by bridging the gap between school and
hip hop culture. Topics such as the ability for many youths to memorize rap
lyrics verbatim and how those skills can translate into academia, are discussed
along with more general issues, including peer pressure, media, sexuality,
career development, and gang activity. Written in an adolescent-friendly style,
this much-needed book for educators seeks a different way of approaching
students.
