Ebonics: Theorizing in Public Our Attitudes toward Literacy.
Marback, Richard
College Composition and Communication, v53 n1 p11-32 Sep 2001
Argues that the responses to the Oakland, California ebonics resolution miss what made the resolution so significant while also making debate about it so intractable. Proposes that compositionists who acknowledge attitudes that made the resolution so significant can productively engage the larger public regarding literacy education in a racially divided democracy.
