The Color of Language helps to shed new light on the
intersectionality of language, race and identity by offering
readers a unique multi-perspective approach to the proscription of
identity when language and culture have a direct impact on the
understanding of race and ethnicity. Using the lens of
Afrocentricity, Womanist pedagogy and Foster et al.’s Heuristic
for Thinking about Culturally Responsive Teaching (HiTCRiT) as an
important pedagogical tool, Kami Anderson discusses
raciolinguistics and its implications as a tool for language
activism for Black students in the foreign language classroom,
demonstrating how supremacist notions of language have often
hindered the success of Black students in this area. Engaging in
Afrocentric language activism to challenges hegemonic notions, The
Color of Language explores the inclusion of Afrolatino culture as a
means of offering new pedagogical solutions that can foster
language equity for African American students in the foreign
language classroom today.

Womanist thought remains of critical importance given contemporary
issues of social justice and advocacy. Womanist Ethical Rhetoric
centers discourses of religious rhetoric and its influence on Black
women's aims for voice, empowerment, and social justice in these
turbulent times. The chapters utilize womanism, in conjunction with
other frames, to examine how Black women incorporate different
aspects of their identities into struggles for empowerment and
celebrations of who they are in holistic ways that center love and
community. This approach embraces both the commonalities and
differences between womanists through theoretical and applied
contexts. It advances the work of womanist predecessors and pays
homage to them, most notably Rev. Dr. Katie Cannon's work on
womanism and religion. Topics analyzed include Black women's
spiritual and professional identities in religious organizations,
the role of Black churches in Black Lives Matter, and the inclusion
of all Black women in racial academic achievement gaps. Chapters
also examine Black women's leadership and activism, including
church leaders and representations in popular culture, and women's
inclusion in the beloved community. This collection centralizes the
plurality of Black women's lives, which is key to advancing their
voices.

Language, Identity and Choice: Raising Bilingual Children in a
Global Society provides scholarly insight into how foreign language
acquisition influences an individual's understanding of identity
within the African American family. Rooted in sociolinguistic,
communication, and bilingual theoretical perspectives, Kami J.
Anderson describes how foreign language acquisition, development,
and use shape how Africans and African Americans describe and
proscribe their identity and, in turn, the identity of the family.
Language, Identiy, and Choice looks specifically at how family
language choices, in particular choosing to be bilingual, affect
family communication and perception of identity from people outside
of the family. Anderson combines both extensive research and her
personal experience of being bilingual to challenge the existing
notions of what it means to be Black when personal experiences with
race and ethnicity extend beyond the boundaries of the native
country or culture.
