I can’t wait to share the beautiful goodness of this book of mine which is being birthed into the world.
Learn how to center, affirm, and develop Black immigrant literacies in ways that allow all youth to engage with and honor their literacies. This book presents a framework to revolutionize teaching in ways that draw on students’ assets for redesigning, rethinking, and reimagining literacy and the English Language Arts curriculum.
Painting authentic narratives of Afro-Caribbean youth, the author describes how teachers and educators can: (a) Teach the Black literate immigrant (b) Use literacy and English language arts curriculum as a vehicle for instructing Black immigrant youth (c) Foster relations among Black immigrants and their peers through literacy (d) Connect parents, schools, and communities.
With a Foreword by Dr. Shondel Nero and Afterword by Dr. S. Joel Warrican, the text includes lesson plans, instructional models, and templates that range in their focus from K-12 to college.
Schools, districts, and International Student Services across universities in the US are especially invited to engage with this book.
