Speaking in Tongues: Using Womanist Sermons as Intra-Cultural Rhetoric in the Writing Classroom.

McCrary, Donald

Journal of Basic Writing, v20 n2 p53-70 Fall 2001

Explores how womanist sermons can be used in the writing classroom with other-literate students to help them produce hybrid discourse that problematizes and expands what is acceptable and progressive rhetoric within the academy. Demonstrates how exploring womanist sermons can help non-traditional students create provocative and analytical essays that utilize a much fuller range of their linguistic capabilities. (SG)
