This article makes some interesting reading:
“Institutions of
higher learning are failing to address the most problematic irony of hip-hop
studies: The explosion of hip-hop in the academy has not coincided with
positive educational gains for black men. While colleges race to analyze the
street-born music, body movements, art, and poetry, the people whose images are
most associated with hip-hop—young black men—continue to be left behind”.
What are your
thoughts on these courses? Can they be used to make a positive impact on young
black males or are they something else?
Look forward to
hearing from you all on this.
