Publisher's Synopsis
Many African Americans are faced with linguistic prejudice because of the way that they speak. They say that African Americans linguistic patterns are severely defunct. This is ludicious because African Americans speak a unique dialect that has it's cultural roots. Yesterday, they called it Ebonics but today, it is called African American Vernacular English (AAVE). Many African Americans are not aware of what or how they are speaking. Therefore, this book is a "must read" book for African Americans. This book will serve as a drum major to assist African Americans in navigating their linguistic patterns. They will understand the significance of "code switching."
