Book Description
I was going to title this book Spoken Word Necessity because I feel speaking aloud is necessary. I thought it was perfect since this is a book of poetry. Although the title describes my book, it does not capture my image. Spoken Word Necessity gives us an opportunity to speak, but what about? We can talk about love, mistakes, lessons, blessings, progression, regression, happiness, sadness, despair, encouragement, any and all things that can’t be suppressed. I am speaking out loud about evolving. This book of poetry demonstrates life experiences from which lessons were learned. I inadvertently put what I needed in the universe within my poetry and have had those needs come to fruition. Queenism is whatever greatness and growth you want it to be in your life. For me, queenism is the ability to manifest before time (BT) what is nourishing for a lifetime. This rhythmic collection of thoughts and emotions are presented in a soft and raw but honest manner. They display growth of a young African American girl into a spiritually inclined mother, wife and developed woman , truly showing that we are all a work in progress. Nonetheless, spoken words are necessary for evolving into something great. Evolution into Queenism is my journey to being the best me.

The Oxford Handbook of Language and Race
Author: H. Samy Alim
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190846011
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
Over the past two decades, the fields of linguistic anthropology and sociolinguistics have complicated traditional understandings of the relationship between language and identity. But while research traditions that explore the linguistic complexities of gender and sexuality have long been established, the study of race as a linguistic issue has only emerged recently. The Oxford Handbook of Language and Race positions issues of race as central to language-based scholarship. In twenty-one chapters divided into four sections-Foundations and Formations; Coloniality and Migration; Embodiment and Intersectionality; and Racism and Representations-authors at the forefront of this rapidly expanding field present state-of-the-art research and establish future directions of research. Covering a range of sites from around the world, the handbook offers theoretical, reflexive takes on language and race, the larger histories and systems that influence these concepts, the bodies that enact and experience them, and the expressions and outcomes that emerge as a result. As the study of language and race continues to take on a growing importance across anthropology, communication studies, cultural studies, education, linguistics, literature, psychology, ethnic studies, sociology, and the academy as a whole, this volume represents a timely, much-needed effort to focus these fields on both the central role that language plays in racialization and on the enduring relevance of race and racism.
