Examines how black masculinity is shaped by identity performances of racial authenticity, academic literacy, class mobility, and sexuality. This work critiques proponents of code-switching whose solution to the black literacy gap requires inner-city youth to adopt white English vernacular at school and to reserve black English vernacular for home.
