A COUNTERNARRATIVE This groundbreaking book uncovers how anti-Black
racism has informed and perpetuated anti-literacy laws, policies,
and customs from the colonial period to the present day. As a
counternarrative of the history of Black literacy in the United
States, the book's historical lens reveals the interlocking
political and social structures that have repeatedly failed to
support equity in literacy for Black students. Arlette Ingram
Willis walks readers through the impact of anti-Black racism's
impact on literacy education by identifying and documenting the
unacknowledged history of Black literacy education, one that is
inextricably bound up with a history of White supremacy. Willis
analyzes, exposes, illuminates, and interrogates incontrovertible
historical evidence of the social, political, and legal efforts to
deny equal literacy access. The chapters cover an in-depth
evolution of the role of White supremacy and the harm it causes in
forestalling Black readers' progress; a critical examination of
empirical research and underlying ideological assumptions that
resulted in limiting literacy access; and a review of federal and
state documents that restricted reading access for Black people.
Willis interweaves historical vignettes throughout the text as
antidotes to whitewashing the history of literacy among Black
people in the United States and offers recommendations on ways
forward to dismantle racist reading research and laws. By centering
the narrative on the experiences of Black people in the United
States, Willis shifts the conversation and provides an
uncompromising focus on not only the historical impact of such laws
and policies but also their connections to present-day laws and
policies. A definitive history of the instructional and legal
structures that have harmed generations of Black people, this text
is essential for scholars, students, and policymakers in literacy
education, reading research, history of education, and social
justice education.
