Rewriting Literacy makes a profound contribution to the developing
field of literacy studies as it is the first book which seeks to
link such disciplines as linguistics, sociolinguistics,
anthropology, education, English as a second language, and reading
and writing theory. The chapters in this edited collection, by some
of the foremost scholars of the day, all focus on the nature of
literacy. Each article brings to light important concerns regarding
literacy, concerns which are often ignored by the more
traditionally oriented educationalist. The authors illustrate how
literacy is embedded in a social and cultural context bringing into
question the very nature of what it means to be literate. Each
piece highlights, either implicitly or explicitly, the highly
political nature of literacy and in doing so approaches the study
of literacy from a critical and pedagogical perspective. The body
of work presented in this volume is relevant not only to
individuals whose main focus is on the area of literacy studies,
but to all those concerned about minority disenfranchisement,
institutional inequity, and the political, cultural, and social
dimensions of education.
