Writing Black or Blacks Writing.

Jeremiah, Milford A.

Western Journal of Black Studies, v11 n3 p111-4 Fall 1987

Analysis of essays by Black students in an urban community college demonstrates that some errors in adult Black students' writing cannot be analyzed merely within the traditional hierarchy of rules for writing. Consideration of sociological factors is germane to an evaluation of students' writing ability. (BJV)
