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.
