 | Black Communications by Evelyn B. Dandy
The language of African Americans is all too often degraded or simply dismissed by individuals from both inside & outside the racial group as being uneducated, illiterate, undignified or simply nonstandard. In this regard, the language of African Americans is unique in relation to virtually all other groups of Americans in general & groups of color in particular. Most of the other groups of color are at least given credit for having legitimate language heritage, even if they are denied full access to American life. Evelyn Dandy excellently provides teacher, parents, & community advocates eight strategies that they may employ to enhance African American students' learning of the language required for academic & career success, while retaining the integrity & beauty of their home language & communication systems. Through the serious utilization of such principles, African American learners can become better poised for citizenship on the one hand & continued bonding with their indigenous community language systems on the other.
