Oral and Literate Traditions among Black Americans Living in Poverty.
Heath, Shirley Brice
American Psychologist, v44 n2 p367-73 Feb 1989
Verbal skills traditional in many Black communities were acquired by a pattern of socialization that was not as congruent with school use of written and oral language as the mainstream socialization process. The changing language use needs of the workplace present an educational challenge for both minority and mainstream populations. (Author/BJV)
