The Struggle and the Tools explores the daily lives and language
use of African-American men, women, and children living in an inner
city neighborhood. Based on three-and-a-half years of fieldwork,
this book presents the oral, literate, and analytical strategies
(the "tools") inner city residents use to gain resources, access to
social institutions, and respect (the "struggle"). It honors both
the types of agency present in the struggle, and the kinds of
linguistic savvy present in the tools. It examines the deep games
of power they play with their language and social consciousness and
characterizes their daily experiences without glorification.
