"At long last, we have a book that both shows and tells how to teach students to produce not only 'pretty words and adept dialogue,' but 'searing analysis.' This profound work of emancipatory pedagogy brings together theory, classroom practice, personal narrative, and student work… a must-read for every teacher seeking to reach students that are 'unreachable.'" Geneva Smitherman Distinguished Professor Emerita of English and Director of the African American Language and Literacy Program at Michigan State University; author of Articulate While Black.
