Focusing on the experiences of youth from a violent Cape Town neighborhood, this book explores their educational journeys across classrooms, a community hip hop crew, and a youth radio show. It reveals how South African schools perpetuate social inequalities through language assessments that reinforce hierarchies. By amplifying the voices of young South Africans, the narrative delves into the historical context of language shaped by colonialism and slavery, emphasizing the intricate connections between language, culture, and the significance of space in learning.
