Literacy as Moral Obligation among African Americans in the Rural
Southeast provides detailed descriptions of contemporary African
American experiences with literacy and education in the rural
South. In doing so, this book extends current understandings of
sociocultural perspectives on literacy by illustrating how literacy
practice is morally valenced, embodied, and narrative in quality.
Johnson Lachuk argues that meaningful and ethical literacy
instruction engages with perspectives that are embedded within a
social and cultural community-that is, since literacy is linked to
greater social mobility through institutional access for many
persons, it is educators' ethical responsibility to ensure that
learners have the literacy knowledge required to do so. Recommended
for scholars of literacy, education, and sociology.
