Rashad Shabazz - Hip-hop and the Black Geographical Imagination

www.marlboro.edu. Dr. Shabazz is currently an assistant professor in the Geography Department in the University of Vermont. His lecture at Marlboro College explored the ways in which the dynamics of space, place, race, gender and culture are articled in hip-hop's verbal expressivity. Drawing on the lyrics of hip-hop artists, he highlighted how rap music has become an important site of the articulation of a black spatial imagery, while also making the case that hip-hop must shift our understanding of where geographic knowledge is located. Currently Dr Shabazz is working on a book manuscript that examines how Black identity, culture and anti-Black racism are produced and disciplined through spatiality.
