Press blurb:

 Speaking of Race explores the linguistic practices of African American
children in an after school program in Washington, DC. Drawing on
ethnographic research, Jennifer B. Delfino illustrates how students’
linguistic practices are often perceived as barriers to learning and
achievement and provides an in-depth look at how students challenge this
perception by using language to transform the meaning of race in relation
to ideas about academic success. In providing insight into the
institutionalized processes by which African American children are seen and
heard as “problem students,” this book helps scholars and practitioners
better support marginalized pupils in their efforts to achieve racial
transformation and educational justice in schools.
