Dukin' it out with the powers that be : centering African Americancentered studies and students in the traditional curriculum.African-American Literacies is a personal, public and political exploration of the problems faced by student writers from the African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) culture. Drawing on personal experience, Elaine Richardson provides a compelling account of the language and literacy practices of African-American students. The book analyses the problems encountered by the teachers of AAVE speakers, and offers African American centred theories and pedagogical methods of addressing these problems. Richardson builds on recent research to argue that teachers need not only to recognise the value and importance of African-American culture, but also to use African-American English when teaching AAVE speakers standard English. African-American Literacies offers a holistic and culturally relevant approach to literacy education, and is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the literacy practices of African-American students.Literacies.English languageStudy and teachingAfrican American studentsLiteracyStudy and teachingEnglish languageStudy and teachingAfrican American students.LiteracyStudy and teaching.371.8296073Richardson Elaine B.1960-1845915MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954078203321African American literacies4498250UNINA
