Since its initial publication, English with an Accent has provoked debate and controversy within classrooms through its in-depth scrutiny of American attitudes towards language.

This second edition has been reorganized and revised to include:
- new dedicated chapters on Latino English and Asian American English
- discussion questions, further reading, and suggested classroom exercises,
- updated examples from the classroom, the judicial system, the media, and corporate culture
- a discussion of the long-term implications of the Ebonics debate
- a brand-new companion website with a glossary of key terms and links to audio, video, and images relevant to the each chapter's content.
