The Skin That We Speak : Thoughts on Language and Culture in the Classroom,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The author of Other People's Children joins with other experts to examine the relationship between language and power in the classroom. The Skin That We Speak takes the discussion of language in the classroom beyond the highly charged war of idioms and presents today's teachers with a thoughtful exploration of the varieties of English that we speak, in what Black Issues Book Review calls 'an essential text.' Edited by bestselling author Lisa Delpit and education professor Joanne Kilgour Dowdy, the book includes an extended new piece by Delpit herself, as well as groundbreaking work by Herbert Kohl, Gloria LadsonBillings, and Victoria PurcellGates, as well as classic texts by Geneva Smitherman and Asa Hilliard. At a time when children are written off in our schools because they do not speak formal English, and when the class and racebiased language used to describe those children determines their fate, The Skin That We Speak offers a cuttingedge look at crucial educational issues.
