Full Description
Since its initial publication, English with an Accent has provoked debate and controversy within classrooms through its in-depth scrutiny of American attitudes towards language.

This second edition has been reorganized and revised to include:
new dedicated chapters on Latino English and Asian American English
discussion questions, further reading, and suggested classroom exercises,
updated examples from the classroom, the judicial system, the media, and corporate culture
a discussion of the long-term implications of the Ebonics debate
