Subject: Re: Samuel's reviews


dear all
I just wanted to point out a rather careless racialisation of 
language that appears to take place in the review.  Despite the final 
reference to the "many tongues around primrose hill etc" regional
location doesn't seem to figure into Samuels' typology: what an earth 
do "white working class English" and "modern black English"  sound 
like?
