- Summary:
- Asking "experts" to "shut up and listen," Knaus (education, California State U. East Bay) shares his work with African American students to change schools from silencing places that are heir to racism to places where students of color can develop an authentic culturally-rooted voice. His efforts involve convincing white educators to engage in dialog on the continuing effects of that legacy, instructor modeling, and freewriting as a means of developing such a voice. Drawing on research studies, courses taught at three high schools, interviews with students and teachers, and self-reflection, the book includes excerpts from students' journals.
