The Fifth Element Is Knowledge: Education, Hip-Hop, and Sport is a compelling academic resource edited by Eddie Comeaux, C. Keith Harrison, and Reggie Saunders. This book critically explores the intersections of race, gender, identity, inequality, politics, and economics through the lenses of education, hip-hop culture, and sports. It offers a unique blend of sociological analysis and cultural critique that fosters critical academic and psychosocial development.

Organized into seven insightful sections, the book examines foundational structures shaping education, hip-hop, and sport, while exploring how athletes experience and influence hip-hop culture worldwide. Each section encourages critical conversations with discussion questions designed to deepen understanding. Published in 2021 by Cognella Academic Publishing, this 1st edition paperback is perfect for courses in sociology, contemporary social issues, culture, and sports management. An essential addition for educators, students, and enthusiasts of hip-hop and sports culture.
