Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Lacy, middle-class blacks use a combination of script-switching and improvisation to acquire and use cultural capital. Script-switching refers to the ability to switch between different linguistic and cultural codes depending on the situation or audience, while improvisation refers to the ability to creatively navigate social and cultural situations that may not align with one's cultural background. These two devices allow middle-class blacks to both conform to dominant cultural norms and resist them when necessary.
