Rezensionen

"The "D" came through and showed out in this book! The Detroit youth who are at the center of this study show us just how critical Black youth are to the linguistic inventions and thereby the new worldviews that we all experience through them. April Baker-Bell offers us the theoretical and pedagogical principles that will give back to Black youth the knowledge of who they linguistically/ideologically are. She is ushering in a new program and thought system for Black Language and Liberation for the 21^st century, brilliantly reminding us of the ways that the struggles for and triumphs of Black Freedom have always been expressed within the deeply embedded philosophies of Black Language. Linguistic Justice: Black Language, Literacy, Identity, and Pedagogy is timely, unique, and critical.... a book that teachers, students, and anyone interested in Black Language will want in their hands."

-Carmen Kynard, Texas Christian University, USA

"At long last, this is the book we have all been waiting for.... The book's transformative lesson plans and inquiry-based teaching-learning experiences have been tested in the crucible of real world classrooms on both high school and college levels."

-From the Foreword by Geneva Smitherman, Michigan State University, USA

"There's lots to think about in Linguistic Justice: lots to learn from, mull over and process and there's plenty to recontextualise in a UK setting. It's an important book for English teachers and one that has already kickstarted hundreds of conversations, many practical interventions and a lot more too come."

-Dan Clayton, Teaching English (NATE)
