The Children Ought to Know

Description

“The Children Ought To Know is a work of historical and cultural narrative that explores the importance of our African culture and heritage through the collection of stories, essays, role-playing, and discussions. The book incorporates writing conventions much like a framed narrative — stories within stories, historical fiction — dramatic play and poetic narrative. Blackwood Meeks employs translingual and translanguaging approaches and forms to show the unique yet fluid nature of languages shared, and highlighted the importance of language as one of the cornerstones of cultural identity.”
