Inhaltsangabe:

Controversy erupted when the Oakland Unified School District’s ’Ebonics Resolution’ proposed an approach to teaching Standard English that recognized the variety of English spoken by African American students. With demands for accountability driven by the NCLB policy, this debate will rise again. This book seeks to better inform this next episode.
