Vernacular Insurrections - Race, Black Protest, and the New Century in Composition-Literacies Studies (Paperback)

Carmen Kynard locates literacy in the twenty-first century at the onset of new thematic and disciplinary imperatives brought into effect by Black Freedom Movements. Kynard argues that we must begin to see how a series of vernacular insurrections protests and new ideologies developed in relation to the work of Black Freedom Movements have shaped our imaginations, practices, and research of how literacy works in our lives and schools.
Utilizing many styles and registers, the book borrows from educational history, critical race theory, first-year writing studies, Africana studies, African American cultural theory, cultural materialism, narrative inquiry, and basic writing scholarship. Connections between social justice, language rights, and new literacies are uncovered from the vantage point of a multiracial, multiethnic Civil Rights Movement."
