Editor's Note:
It has now been almost fifty years since linguistic experts began studying Black English as a legitimate speech variety, arguing to the public that it is different from Standard English, not a degradation of it. Yet false assumptions and controversies still swirl around what it means to speak and sound “black.” In his first book devoted solely to the form, structure, and development of Black English, John McWhorter clearly explains its fundamentals and rich history, while carefully examining the cultural, educational, and political issues that have undermined recognition of this transformative, empowering dialect.

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access Talking Back, Talking Black: Truths About America's Lingua Franca by John McWhorter. Crafted for the discerning reader.
