Understanding Storytelling Among African American Children: A
Journey From Africa to America reports research on narrative
production among African American children for the purpose of
extending previous inquiry and discussion of narrative structure.
Some researchers have focused on the influence of culture on the
narrative structures employed by African American children; some
have suggested that their narrative structures are strongly
influenced by home culture; others posit that African American
children, like children in general, produce narrative structures
typically found in school settings. Dr. Champion contributes to
previous research by suggesting that African American children do
not produce one structure of narratives exclusively, but rather a
repertoire of structures, some linked to African and African
American, and others to European American narrative structures.
Detailed analyses of narratives using both psychological text
analysis and qualitative analysis are presented. An informative
introduction provides background for the study, including a history
of storytelling within the African American community. Part I
offers a framework for understanding narrative structures among
African American children. In Part II, evidence is presented that
African American children produce a repertoire of narrative
structures that are complex in nature. Part III connects the
research findings to implications for educating African American
children. Researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of
literacy education, language development, African American studies,
and communication sciences and disorders will find this book
particularly relevant and useful.
