Based on an original ethnographic study of a Hip-Hop-based education program, the Songwriting and Production Program (SWP) administered by the Foundation of Music in two of Chicago's lowest performing public schools, Evans argues that Hip-Hop culture is central to students' lives and can be used as a vehicle for students to engage in civic practices and extract critical lessons about mainstream media, relational currency, identity development, and race\/racism within the classroom. Through a compelling exploration of the SWP program, Evans contends that Hip-Hop should be part of formal education spaces and instruction, a conclusion he reaches through his understanding of how Hip-Hop impacted his own life, and by witnessing students discuss, write, and produce Hip-Hop music as part of the SWP program.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Michigan Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47577540001943,"sku":"9780472057177","price":3653.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780472057177.webp?v=1774903718","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hip-hop-civics-connected-learning-in-the-rap-classroom-9780472057177","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
