, Chanel Craft Tanner and Susana Morris. Formed in 2010, the collective is on a mission to “create a space of support and camaraderie for hip hop generation feminists of color, queer and straight, in the academy and without, by building a rhetorical community, in which we can discuss our ideas, express our crunk feminist selves, fellowship with one another, debate and challenge one another, and support each other.
The authors come at every issue and obstacle, from struggling in school to haircare, with the same battering-ram force—always expanding the measure of who their reader is capable of being and what coded ways the world tends to push back. Central to the book is power and permission: Children often need to hear explicitly that something’s allowed.
The book feels trustworthy because it’s at once transparently upfront and clearly invested in treating its reader with respect. It’s also upfront with the generational divide between writers and readers. Cooper, Craft Tanner and Morris are explicitly writing from one generation to another, using the lineage of hip-hop female figureheads as a guide.
It sounds great!
crunkfeminists This book tells young feminists to be angry, not nice. Yet female athletes are told to BeKind and accept male-bodied athletes in their sports and locker rooms, and the 'feminist' orgs that SHOULD be standing up for them are silent. SaveWomensSports
