Edición de la obra The real ebonics debate

In The Real Ebonics Debate some of our most important educators, linguists, and writers, as well as teachers and students reporting from the field, examine the lessons of the Ebonics controversy and unravel complexities of the issue that have never been acknowledged. An insightful look at the political nature of language and its inseparability from race and class in America, The Real Ebonics Debate cuts to the heart of how America educates its children.
