«In this book, Perryman-Clark [ ] pushes our notions about what might constitute a common approach into a fresh new space by putting an Afrocentric worldview at the center of a writing curriculum that teaches students to value all languages and language practices. [ ] This is important, forward-thinking scholarship that all teachers, administrators and graduate teachers should take seriously.» (Malea Powell, 2012 Chair, Conference on College Composition & Communication; Associate Professor of Writing, Rhetoric & American Cultures, Michigan State University)
