{"product_id":"9780820451374","title":"Classroom Calypso: Giving Voice to the Voiceless","description":"What happens when teachers «relinquish the authority of truth providers»? Ninth grader Sasha Pringle, one of the student voices in \u003ci\u003eClassroom Calypso,\u003c\/i\u003e asserts that such a self-effacing posture empowers students by «releasing the writer within,» thereby fostering a critical, creative, and reflective disposition. Winthrop R. Holder re-represents students not as marginalized beings merely absorbing information but as subjects taking center stage and inscribing themselves into history. On their literary pilgrimage seeking self-knowledge, students, employing tale-telling, recast their classroom as a symposium – a place where popular culture orchestrates the discourse. This is an invaluable book for educators, parents, and anyone interested in understanding and facilitating the voices of urban youth.","brand":"Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026869043440,"sku":"9780820451374","price":52.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780820451374_p0.jpg?v=1763751755","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780820451374","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
