ABSTRACT

In chapter 4, the author shows the praxis of the Antiracist Black Language Pedagogy, specifically illustrating how she used Black linguistic consciousness-raising to help the students challenge, interrogate, unlearn, and work toward dismantling Anti-Black Linguistic Racism. This chapter has two major functions: (1) it demonstrates what an Antiracist Black Language Pedagogy looks like on the ground (aka in the classroom), and (2) it illustrates how theory, research, and practice can operate in tandem in pursuit of linguistic and racial justice.
