Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In Let's Flip the Script, respected poet and essayist Keith Gilyard broadens the debate about language and education. Fusing insights derived from practical experience with knowledge drawn from an impressive and interdisciplinary array of texts, he examines - always with an eye on the state of African America - connections among language, politics, expressive culture, and pedagogy. This book is a rousing contribution to the African American intellectual tradition.
