Description
Presenting the DJ as an example of the digital griot--a high-tech storyteller--this book shows how African American storytelling traditions and their digital manifestations can help scholars and teachers shape composition studies, linking oral, print, and digital production in ways that centralize African American discursive practices as part of a multicultural set of ideas and pedagogical commitments.
