Conscious Women Rock the Page:
Using Hip-Hop Fiction to Incite Social Change
Created by Black Artemis, E-Fierce, JLove, and Marcella Runell Hall
(Lulu/Sister Outsider Entertainment, 2008)
164 pp. $29.95
This curriculum revolves around three hip-hop young adult novels: E-Fierce's The Sista Hood On the Mic, Black Artemis' Picture Me Rollin', and JLove's That White Girl, and seamlessly integrates activities across seven sections that incorporate the novels' themes, issues of self-reflection, and identity, as well as aspects of hip-hop culture and critical literacy. It is feminist, it is social justice, and it is hip-hop, with no apologies.
