Speaking of Race explores the linguistic practices of African
American children in an after school program in Washington, D.C.
Using the ethnographic methods of "raciolinguistics," it provides
an in-depth look at how students used language to transform the
meaning of race in relation to ideas about academic success. The
book shows that while students often have a sophisticated grasp of
language, race, and their relation to academic success, their
linguistic practices are often perceived as barriers to learning
and achievement. In providing insight into the institutionalized
processes by which African American children are seen and heard as
"problem students", this book aims to help scholars and
practitioners better support minoritized students who are engaged
in the project of achieving racial transformation and educational
justice in the context of their urban schooling experiences.
