France presents a comprehensive critique of composition theory
and pedagogy from a leftist perspective. He contests the notion
that composition courses have no content and are only skills
courses, devoid of intellectual suppositions and cultural premises.
Writing instructors should therefore focus on teaching students how
to retextualize contemporary cultural practices and become
proficient in dissenting from as well as affirming the status quo.
Each chapter extends the argument for a critical composition
practice from theory into explicit, detailed narratives of
composition techniques and analysis. Issues covered are the
implicit ideology and curricular function of composition, the
definition of a materialist rhetoric, the place of feminism in the
writing classroom, the interrogation of dominant ideology in
business and professional writing courses, the critique of
knowledge making in the context of social-epistemic pedagogy, and
the historical and rhetorical relations of religion to
persuasion.
