 | Quantum Justice : Global Girls Cultivating Disruption Through Spoken Word Poetry How girls of color from eight global communities strategize on questions of identity, social issues, and political policy through spoken word poetry. In this book, Endsley combines poetry, discourse analysis, photovoice, and more to forge the feminist theory of "quantum justice," which forefronts girls' relationships with their global counterparts. Using quantum justice theory, Endsley examines how these collaborative efforts produce powerful networks and ultimately map trajectories of social change at the micro level. By inviting transnational dialogue through spoken word poetry, Quantum Justice emphasizes how the imaginative energy in hip-hop culture can mobilize girls to connect and motivate each other through spoken word performance and thereby disrupt the status quo. Crystal Leigh Endsley is an associate professor in the Department of Africana Studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York. She is the author of The Fifth Element: Social Justice Pedagogy through Spoken Word Poetry and a coauthor of Open Mic Night: Campus Programs That Champion College Student Voice and Engagement . |
