Black Immigrant Literacies

Black Immigrant Literacies brings to life conversations surrounding a decade of scientific knowledge captured in part in the MLA award-winning book, "Black Immigrant Literacies: Intersections of Race, Language and Culture in the Classroom." 

As a "love note to Black immigrants across the world,” this book, written by USF Associate Dean & Professor of Literacy Studies, Dr. Patriann Smith, features the Jamaican, Chloe, and the Bahamian, Ervin. The book explains the complexities of being Black, becoming immigrant, and becoming a speaker whose Englishes become questioned, all at the same time.

Silencing the invisibility of Black immigrants, many of whom function as transnationals across the US & Caribbean, Black Immigrant Literacies emerges from both the cathartic and redemptive within, across, and beyond lives.

Join us as we #silenceinvisibility. For immigrants, redemptive destiny is all.
