African American Voices in Composition
Description
Jacqueline Jones Royster first published “When the First Voice You Hear Is Not Your Own,” in the February of 1996 issue of College Composition and Communication. In the mid-nineties, postmodern theory and cultural studies offered new ways to examine the writing process leading to the emergence of post-process theory. Also, this time marks the expansion of the use of computers in classrooms because of user-friendly improvements and affordability, ongoing discussions about new approaches to teaching the research paper, and social-epistemic pedagogy (CIPHER). According to CIPHER, the following books were published in 1996: Joseph Harris published A Teaching Subject: Composition since 1966, in which he focuses on a 30-year period in the discipline and the development of college writing. D.G. Meyers published The Elephants Teach: Creative Writing Since 1880. Hawisher, et al. published Computers and the Teaching of Writing in American Higher Education-1994: A History. Richard Ohmann published the second edition of English in America: A Radical View of the Profession.
