Description and Table of Contents
Description
*With its focus on race, the languaging of race and the feminist experience, this is vital reading at a moment of heightened attention on the issues of systemic racism and sexism
*Both a personal story with wide resonance, written in a highly engaging, conversational and non-academic style which will appeal to the general reader and a major statement on the significance of language in social transformation, this is key reading for courses on African American and African Studies, Cultural Rhetoric, Feminist Studies, Linguistics, Writing and Composition
*A companion piece to both John Rickford's "Transformed" memoir and the reissued classic, "Word from the Mother", this is a vivid personal account and legacy piece from an inspiring activist and hugely influential scholar
