"I Want to Be African": In Search of a Black Radical Tradition/African-American-Vernacularized Paradigm for "Students' Right to Their Own Language," Critical Literacy, and "Class Politics" Carmen Kynard Stephen Parks’s book Class Politics fails to convey the complex interplay of social movements (including Black Power and socialism) behind the Statement on Students’ Right to Their Own Language. Attention to this rich history enables a better understanding of African American discourses than is provided in another influential book, Lisa Delpit’s Other People’s Children.
