In Praise of spoken soul the story of black english "Spoken Soul brilliantly fills a huge gap...a delightfully readable introduction to the elegant interweave between the language and its culture."-Ralph W. Fasold, Georgetown university "A lively, well-documented history of Black English ...that will enlighten and inform not only educators, for whom it should be required reading, but all who value and question language." -Kirkus Reviews "Spoken Soul is a must read for anyone who is interested in the connection between language and identity." -Chicago Defender Claude Brown called Black English "Spoken Soul." Toni Morrison said, "It's a love, a passion. Its function is like a preacher's: to make you stand out of your seat, make you lose yourself and hear yourself.

Rickford provide the definitive guide to African American vernacular English-from its origins and features to its powerful fascination for society at large.
