| Summary: | "Young mixes narrative autocritography, his mother's tongue and wit, analysis of literature on race, African American history, and language and literacy studies to argue against the dominant ideological model of literacy and for a theory of code meshing - a 'technique [that] meshes versions of English together in a way that's more in line with how people actually speak and write anyway.' Although he knows code meshing is not a panacea, he sees it as one way to improve the retention rates and achievement of black students in higher education."--Jacket |
