Bryant Keith Alexander, Mary E. Weems

Collaborative Spirit-Writing and Performance in Everyday Black Lives (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a dialogic engagement that draws upon shared lived experiences, hopes and fears of two Black people. It shows that collaborative writing can have knowledge-making and knowledge-transforming effects, since it allows humans to externalize their thinking in forms that are easier to reflect on and potentially rework.
