Th is article interrogates how hiphop composition pedagogies can interrupt what the author terms the “hiphop illiteracies” that circulate in predominantly white institutions (PWIs). An analysis of four college writing class-rooms that integrate hiphop texts at one PWI reveals pervasive anti-Black-ness in student attitudes, but also in the research and course design as well as in department-mandated course texts. Th e analysis demonstrates the need for writing pedagogies that name and teach Black language, writing, and meaning-making practices while also asking students, teachers, and admin-istrators to re fl exively examine their own identities’ locations vis-a-vis those practices. Th e author advocates a re fl exive pedagogy that asks students to locate themselves vis-a-vis power as a starting point for investigations of language and culture. Th e author concludes that hiphop pedagogies have signi fi cant critical social justice possibilities in institutionally white educational contexts, but these bene fi ts are not automatic and demand pedagogies of re-fl exivity

!is work draws upon Hiphop feminism, studies of Black girlhood, and Black women and girls’ literacies to illuminate the layered and violent narratives that shape society’s treatment of Black women and girls, what these narratives look like in everyday life, how they are taken up and negotiated in di"erent social spheres, such as an a#erschool club for Black middle school girls and the platforms and artistry of women Hiphop artists and creatives. Richardson considers what activism is possible through juxtaposing Black girls as emerging creatives, celebrity corporate artist activists Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, independent activist artists such as Noname and dream hampton. Given the far-reaching representations of Black women and girls in popular culture, the art, lives and platforms of women in Hiphop are critical sites to understanding complexities, strategies and possibilities for social change.

Exploring literacy practices of home cooks, this article analyzes how cookbooks are remixed by users (with writings, clippings and other ephemera added to the text throughout its use). The practice of remixing the text with further editing by its user/audience illustrates the multilayered literacies at work in establishing authorship within the domestic space. The article builds its argument around one remixed cookbook as a case study, describing the remix-literate practices of the user, as the woman who used this cookbook remixed the text and genre to fit her needs and interests. This literacy practice is argued as a remix, which results in a transformation of the text itself and of the authority of the user. Both the original authorship (the act of compiling recipes from the church community) and the remixed authorship (the added ephemera and handwritten editing done by the user of this particular copy) are analyzed in tandem.

This profile details the ethos and emergent growth of Writers Warehouse, a collective project founded in 2016 with a focus on creation, craft, collaboration, and community. Based in Colorado, Writers Warehouse now aims to position itself as a mutual care collective through curating inclusive, non-hierarchical spaces, developing open access resources, and establishing a microgrant program for local writers.

This article highlights how contemporary structural forces—the intertwined systems of racism, xenophobia, gentrification, and capitalism—have material consequences for the nature of community literacy education. As a case study, I interrogate the rhetoric and infrastructure of a San Francisco K-12 literacy nonprofit in the context of tech-boom gentrification, triggering the mass displacement of Latinx residents. I locate the nonprofit in longer histories of settler colonialism and migration in the Bay Area to analyze how the organization’s rhetoric—the founder’s TED talk, its website, the mural on the building’s façade—are structured by racist logics that devalue and homogenize the literacy and agency of the local community, perpetuating white “possessive investments” (Lipsitz) in land, literacy, and education. Drawing on abolitionist and decolonial education theory, I prose a praxis encouraging literacy scholar-practitioners to question and ultimately divest from institutional rhetorics and funding sources that continue to forward racism, xenophobia, imperialism, and raciolinguistic supremacy built upon them.
