Book Synopsis The Black Side of the River by : Jessica A. Grieser
Book excerpt: In The Black Side of the River, sociolinguist Jessi Grieser draws on ten years of interviews with dozens of residents of Anacostia–a historically Black neighborhood in Washington, DC–to explore the impact of urban change on Black culture, identity, and language. Grieser’s work is a call to center Black lived experiences in urban research.
