Hip Hop and the Art of Peace Education, first presented at UPEACE in El Rodeo, Costa Rica in 2011, is the first text on the interconnectedness of peace education and hip hop culture. Inspired by The Hip Hop Declaration of Peace, this text is a proponent of the philosophy that hip hop is a culture of peace. The document opens up with the preface, introduction, acknowledgements, terminology, and literature review. Then, it goes on to explore the six petals of peace education, in the context of 5-6 core subjects, and hip hop culture. In closing, it offers a final conclusion and continuing project outline to put the theory into practice, i.e., music projects, media, and events. Based on primary and secondary sources, the chapters include excerpts from twelve interviews. The six petals of peace education are personal or inner peace, environmental care, attitudes and values education, multicultural education, human rights education (HRE), and disarmament education. A critical educator’s tool to aid in dismantling structural violence, our project outlines ways hip hop may facilitate peace education in classrooms, communities, and in peace or conflict zones.
