In True to the Language Game, Keith Gilyard, one of the major
African American figures to emerge in language and cultural
studies, makes his most seminal work available in one volume. This
collection of new and previously published essays contains Gilyard
's most relevant scholarly contributions to deliberations about
linguistic diversity, cultural identity, critical literacy, writing
instruction, literary texts, and popular culture. The volume also
features contemporary treatises on such timely topics as "students
right to their own language," code-switching pedagogy, and
political discourse surrounding the rise of Barack Obama. Gilyard
weaves together serious analysis, theoretical work, policy
discussions, and personal reflections on the interplay of language,
literacy, and social justice to make True to the Language Game
essential reading for students and scholars in rhetorical studies,
composition studies, applied linguistics, and education.
