Talking Back, Talking Black

I am less interested in this topic than I thought

Hard to get through with linguistic knowledge needed to understand much of the text.

There were some gems of information, but mostly, it was fragmented and dense.

Lots of cool stuff in here about the linguistics of Black English. I don't know if the author really completed his goal though - I don't know that the people reading this book are the same people who want their minds changed about what Black English is. I think I would have liked it better if it stuck to the linguistics without the interjections about how other linguists have been talking about it wrong. But I just love the linguistics part of it so that's just me. It's a good book!
