SUPERB!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I laughed, I cried and, most importantly, I remembered many of these sayings as stated by my grandparents, parents and family from South Carolina and New York City. The history behind many of these words and phrases were of great interest to me. I am buying copies as holiday presents for family members.
Very Enlightening

I read a review for this book and thought that I'd check it out. As an African American woman from the Midwest, I have to honestly say that there were a lot of words and phrases that I'd never heard before and some that I'd heard in passing and had no clue what their meanings were. Now you can call me informed. I enjoyed reading this book and actually laughed out loud when I read something that I hadn't heard in ages that brought back lots of memories. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand more about Black talk.
telling you like it TIS...

This is a loving tribute to African-American language and phrases. If you love language and want to brush up (positively) on your "Ebonics", then this book is the one to have. I can't wait to read it to my toddler when he can mentally "break it down"!!! If you like being "in the mix", then hook it up!!!
A very complete dictionary of black English words
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Black Talk is a very well done work that includes many of the well known and a few of the unknown terms. Whenever a term has become part of Standard english, spoken by non-blacks, the word is indicated by, one that has "crossed over". this book is a definite work for any good black english library.
