Through the analytic of “renewal,” the authors point to the recent increase in individual and collective energies directed toward developing effective, reciprocal, and transformative political relationships within various African-descendant and Palestinian communities around the world. Drawing from the extant BPTS literature, this essay examines the prominent intellectual currents in the field and points to new methodologies and analytics that are required to move the field forward. With this essay, the authors aim not only to contextualize the field and to frame this special issue, but also to chart new directions for future intellectual and political work.

Focusing primarily on post-Ferguson events, I spotlight the ways that Black people have used Black Twitter and other digital counterpublics to engage in forms of pedagogy that reorganize relations of surveillance, reject rigid respectability politics, and contest the erasure of marginalized groups within the Black community.

Despite its richness, the work reveals little about how to prepare practicing K-12 teachers to use HHBE toward the critical ends reflected in extant HHBE literature. In this article, we challenge many tacit assumptions of HHBE research by examining the curricular and pedagogical wants and needs of in-service teachers who are interested in HHBE but who are not familiar with hip-hop's unique history and culture. Through a collaborative self-study with a teacher-educator, we, as Black male hip-hop insiders, reflect on the promises and pitfalls of preparing predominantly White teachers to incorporate hip-hop into their teaching and learning repertoire. Introduction Theoretical Framework Statement of the Problem and Research Questions Research Methods Data Collection and Analysis Lessons Learned from Schooling Teachers Less Legitimacy, More Cultural Content The Importance of HHBE Content and Pedagogy Constraints of HHBE Conclusion: Schooling Ourselves References "I think it would have been helpful if you had an idea of who your participants were and how much info they had on hip-hop."

To do this, I situate my analysis within a broader tradition of public intellectual work in the American academy. I also offer a framework for three specific forms of public intellectual work, supported by relevant examples, which can be taken up by educational researchers. I then raise

Unlike much of the work done in the field, Richardson presents her argument for more expansive theoretical and practical treatments of African American literacy practices through an African American-centered voice. While Richardson quickly establishes political and epistemological distance between herself and traditional Afrocentric scholars (e.g., Asante, Kaurenga), she evinces her shared preoccupation with decentering hegemonic European literacy practices through her complex theoretical framework and authentic deployment of many of the rhetorical strategies that she spotlights within the book.
