In ritual acts, in play, and in music where the students' positions are uncertain (Rampton calls these "periods of liminality"), the researcher is able to expose honest moments of racism, of jest, and of acceptance or rejection within the groups. Rampton furnishes the reader with lists of symbols and phonetic descriptions to facilitate interpretation of the data. Still, there remains some doubt about the reliability of verbally reported language use, especially among Afro-Caribbeans, who are noted for their verbal play and use of nonverbal gestures. Notwithstanding, this book provides challenging insights into language use in multiethnic and multilingual settings. It questions and rejects existing theories of identity formation and ethnic relations among adolescents.
