Speaking of Race explores the linguistic practices of African
American children in an after school program in Washington, DC.
Drawing on ethnographic research, Jennifer B. Delfino illustrates
how students' linguistic practices are often perceived as barriers
to learning and achievement and provides an in-depth look at how
students challenge this perception by using language to transform
the meaning of race in relation to ideas about academic success. In
providing insight into the institutionalized processes by which
African American children are seen and heard as "problem students,"
this book helps scholars and practitioners better support
marginalized pupils in their efforts to achieve racial
transformation and educational justice in schools.
