Summary
What might it mean to reject the white gaze when seeking to understand the language and literacy practices of Black immigrant youth from the English-speaking Caribbean? What does it mean for these youth to refuse to be defined by the raciolinguistic ideologies that have historically and systematically misapprehended and distorted their multiple literacies and rich everyday forms of translanguaging? How can focusing our attention on these youth’s perspectives on their own language and literacy practices help to redirect and expand our understanding of language, literacy, and race more broadly?
