Talking College shows that language is fundamental to Black and
African American culture and that linguistic justice is crucial to
advancing racial justice, both on college campuses and throughout
society. Writing from a linguistics-informed, Black-centered
educational framework, the authors draw extensively on Black
college students' lived experiences to present key ideas about
African American English and Black language practices. The text
presents a model of how Black students navigate the linguistic
expectations of college. Grounded in real-world examples of Black
undergraduates attending colleges and universities across the
United States, the model illustrates the linguistic and cultural
balancing acts that arise as Black students work to develop their
full linguistic selves. Talking College provides Black students
with the knowledge they need to make sense of anti-Black linguistic
racism and to make decisions about their linguistic experiences in
college. It also offers key insights to help college faculty and
staff create the liberating and linguistically just educational
community that Black students deserve.Book Features: Weaves
together information and approaches drawn from the authors'
extensive experience working with Black and other students of color
in higher education. Provides an up-to-date discussion of Black
language practices and their role in Black students' college
experiences. Discusses the racial politics of language, including
anti-Black linguistic racism and the struggle for linguistic
justice as part of racial justice. Offers a detailed model of Black
college students' diverse linguistic and racial identities.
Outlines concrete steps toward racial and linguistic justice that
students and faculty can take today. Accessible to students and
faculty without a background in linguistics, while also engaging
and informative for linguistics scholars.
