Beskrivning
Drawing on the lived experiences of high school-aged young Black immigrants, this book paints imaginaries of racialized translanguaging and transsemiotizing, leveraged transnationally by teenagers across the Caribbean and the United States. The Black Caribbean youth reflect a full range of literacy practices – six distinct holistic literacies – identified as a basis for flourishing. These literacies of migration encapsulate numerous examples of how the youth are racialized transgeographically, based on their translanguaging and transsemiotizing with Englishes, both institutionally and individually. In turn, the book advances a heuristic of semiolingual innocence containing eight elements, informed by the Black immigrant literacies of Caribbean youth. Through the eight elements presented – flourishing, purpose, comfort, expansion, paradox, originality, interdependence, and imagination – stakeholders and systems will be positioned to better understand and address the urgent needs of these youth. Ultimately, the heuristic supports a reinscribing of semiolingual innocence for Black Caribbean immigrant and transnational youth, as well as for all youth.

Recensioner i media

'A métissage between biography and autobiography, poetry and strong poetry, languaging and translanguiging, this book is a bottom-up testimony explicating how a group of Black Caribbean immigrant youth situates themselves in a time and space while questioning the adequacy of that location. It is where language learning is no longer an abstract exercise but a question(ing) of desire and identity mapping and as such, it moves beyond grammar and syntax to semiotics and raciosemiotics.' Awad Ibrahim, Vice-Provost, Equity, Diversity and Inclusive Excellence, University of Ottawa, and the author of Black Immigrants in North America
