Happy Holidays from our Black Immigrant Literacies family!
As you rest and rejuvenate this season, be sure to try out the Caribbean Black Cake Christmas delicacy and to read my thoughts on ‘Black Cake,’ the Oprah Winfrey produced series just published by Global Voices here: “How Caribbean ‘Black Cake’ can help the region transcend its traumatic past.”
Also available for your viewing this holiday is the deeply moving video of the official USF Book Launch of Black Immigrant Literacies: Intersections of Race, Language and Culture in the Classroom. Be sure to grab your very own copy of the book here.
A compilation of video endorsements from the brilliant Drs. Shondel Nero, Allison Skerrett, Patricia Edwards, Kathleen Hinchman, and Aria Razfar is accessible here.
We are grateful to our publisher, Teachers College Press, and to our sponsors, the USF David Anchin Center and the USF Institute for Black Life. Thanks also to those who’ve purchased, and all who attended all the celebrations of the book in 2023.
Look out for more from my Black Immigrant Literacies Book Tour line up … Multicultural Classroom, Queen’s University, University of Montreal, TESOL, AERA, Virginia Commonwealth University, Michigan State University, Georgia State University and so many more in 2024!
Merry Christmas!
