| Abstract | The n-word is unique in the English language. On one hand, it is the ultimate insult- a word that has tormented generations of African Americans. Yet over time, it has become a popular term of endearment by the descendents of the very people who once had to endure it. Among many young people today--black and white--the n-word can mean "friend". Neal A. Lester, dean of humanities and former chair of the English department at Arizona State University, has twice taught courses on the n-word--and found there's plenty to talk about. In this interview, Lester talks about how n-word become such a scathing insult; why the word is so popular with many young black kids today; and how a k-12 teacher might go about teaching the n-word.
