This volume examines revolutionary constructs in literacy education
and demonstrates how they have been gentrified, whitewashed, and
appropriated, losing their revolutionary edge so as to become
palatable for the mainstream. Written by top scholars in literacy
education, chapters cover key concepts that were originally
conceived as radical theories to upset the status quo-including
Third Space, Funds of Knowledge, Culturally Relevant Pedagogies,
and more. Each chapter addresses how the core theory was culturally
appropriated and de-fanged to support rather than take down racial
and societal hierarchies. Critiquing the harmful impact of watering
down these theories, the contributors offer ways to restore the
edge to these once groundbreaking ideas, reject racist and
assimilationist trends, and support the original vision behind
these liberatory theories. In so doing, this volume adopts a truly
radical, critical stance that is essential for researchers,
scholars, and students in literacy education.
