Description

The current state of knowledge of African American language is examined from a broad, multidisciplinary perspective that includes its structure, history, social role and educational implications, as well as the linguistic scholarship from which it derives, as a case study of language planning. A diverse array of topics including Hip-Hop culture, the Black Church and the Ebonics controversy are unified by a pervasive theme of latent conflict between academic knowledge and 'real world' knowledge of Black language.

Author Biography:

CHARLES DEBOSE is Professor of English at California State University, East Bay, California, USA. His scholarly interests include sociolinguistics, pidgin and creole linguistics and language planning and policy, especially as it informs the academic achievement of African American children. He is an ordained minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
