Abstract:
"African American English is the most controversial and misunderstood variety of speech in America. With the perspectives of everyday speakers and the guidance of linguists, historians, and educators, Talking black in America showcases the history, development, and symbolic role of language in the lives of African Americans. Filmed in a variety of rural and urban locations throughout the United States and the black diaspora, the documentary addresses the persistent misinformation about African American speech and situates it as an integral part of the historical and cultural legacy of all Americans"--Container
