  • More about The Color of Language: Centering the Student of Color in World Language Acquisition

The Color of Language is a book that examines the intersectionality of language, race, and identity, and how supremacist notions of language have hindered the success of Black students in the foreign language classroom. It offers new pedagogical solutions to foster language equity for African American students.

Publisher: Peter Lang Publishing Inc


The Color of Language is a groundbreaking work that delves into the intricate interplay between language, race, and identity, offering a unique multi-perspective approach to the prohibition of identity when language and culture have a direct impact on the understanding of race and ethnicity. By employing the lens of Afrocentricity, Womanist pedagogy, and Foster et al.'s Heuristic for Thinking about Culturally Responsive Teaching (HiTCRiT), Kami Anderson explores the realm of raciolinguistics and its profound implications as a tool for language activism for Black students in the foreign language classroom. Through her engaging discussions, Anderson demonstrates how supremacist notions of language have often hindered the success of Black students in this domain.

In response to this challenge, The Color of Language engages in Afrocentric language activism, seeking to challenge hegemonic notions and promote the inclusion of Afrolatino culture as a means of offering innovative pedagogical solutions that can foster language equity for African American students in the foreign language classroom. By doing so, the book aims to contribute to the ongoing efforts to dismantle systemic barriers and promote inclusive education for all students.

This groundbreaking work is a must-read for educators, scholars, and activists who are committed to promoting language diversity, equity, and justice. It provides valuable insights and practical strategies for educators to create inclusive learning environments that honor the rich cultural heritage of their students while promoting language proficiency and academic success.
