Boondock Kollage: Stories from the Hip Hop South is a collection of twelve short stories that address issues of race, place, and identity in the post-Civil Rights American South. Using historical, spectral, and hiphop infused fiction, Boondock Kollage critically engages readers to question the intersections of regionalism and black culture in current American society.

Dr. Bradley's academic research and writing focus on the post-Civil Rights Black American South, hiphop culture, and race and sound studies. She is also an acclaimed fiction writer, with her work being featured in Obsidian Journal, Oxford American Magazine, and Transition Magazine.
