Your Average Nigga: Performing Race, Literacy, and Masculinity
Vershawn Ashanti Young
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.
