Ebonics and Language Education of African Ancestry Students
|
|
This work comes at a time when people of African ancestry, particularly those in the Diaspora, are experiencing an important re-examination of self in relationship to their geographical space and origin. The most recent African language, Ebonics, captures the unmistakable and substantial evidence of this inquiry, while connecting itself to the African family of languages as far back as one of the most ancient ones, Medew Netjer. Ebonics and Language Education of African Ancestry Students examines the political, linguistic, cultural and social history of African people with the expressed intention to place the reader in the authentic context of the development of Ebonics.
