--Jonathan Kozol, author of Amazing Grace
"Anyone in the field of education-teacher, administrator,
researcher, policy maker-who is seriously concerned with issues of
race, class, and the politics of language in America's schools
should read this book. It presents the most comprehensive and
thoughtful discussion of Ebonics in education that I have yet
encountered." --Frederick Erickson, University of Pennsylvania
"This is the best pragmatic and theoretical treatment of the recent
Ebonics controversy. Great clarity and common sense come from an
excellent selection of scholar-practitioners." --Asa Hilliard,
Georgia State University
"At last there is a book that talks sense about the Ebonics debate
and makes a powerful case for honoring the many languages we speak.
A must read." --Herbert Kohl, Georgia State University
"The comprehensive source for teachers who want to be successful
teachers of African-American children." --Gloria Ladsen-Billings,
author of The Dreamkeepers
