In Praise of Spoken Soul: The Story of Black English " Spoken Soul brilliantly fills a huge gap. . . . a delightfully readable introduction to the elegant interweave between the language and its culture." - Ralph W. Fasold , Georgetown university "A lively, well-documented history of Black English . . . that will enlighten and inform not only educators, for whom it should be required reading, but all who value and question language." - Kirkus Reviews "Spoken Soul is a must read for anyone who is interested in the connection between language and identity." - Chicago Defender Claude Brown called Black English "Spoken Soul."

Rickford provide the definitive guide to African American vernacular English-from its origins and features to its powerful fascination for society at large.
