African Americans have viewed literacy as a key to upward mobility
and freedom since before America's Reconstruction Era. However,
African American's academic achievement continues to be plagued by
the ever-widening achievement gap especially when their literacy
skills are measured by standardized assessments that do not
consider or value their culture, their experiences It is common to
think that this is an issue in K-12 settings. However, research and
practical experiences suggest that African American students'
achievement continues to be affected at the post-secondary level
where they are likely to be taught by faculty who have limited
experience with the nuances of Black English (or African American
Vernacular English AAVE). This book steps into that gap by offering
a resource for teaching speakers of AAVE at the post-secondary
level.
