'Puts Hiphop on the map of literacy studies.' - Jannis Androutsopoulos, Mannheim, Germany"Elaine Richardson's Hiphop Literacies, following on the heels of her African American Literacies, is a provocative examination of literacy practices in the context of Hiphop (as the word is written in the book). Here, literacy is defined under the broader rubric of New Literacy Studies (NLS), a paradigm sensitive to the gray areas demarcating 'orality' and 'literacy,' emphasizing instead a liberal and multivalent understanding encompassing alternative modalities (visual, sonic, and their multi-medial synergisms) and seeking to situate literacy within its social settings and cultural practices." -- Tom Greenland, Journal of Foldlore Research, January 2008
