The postmodern force resembles a violent gushing torrent that
washes away almost every man-made artifact of modernity. Literacy
education and research, without exception, have been profoundly
influenced by this force. The project of critical literacy seems
revolutionary and ambitious. It claims to be critical, empowering,
and emancipatory. Hence, the central concern of this book is: can
critical literacy within the postmodern framework justify its
claim? Are there any criticisms of postmodernism? What is lacking
in it? Is there an alternative? How does this alternative paradigm
address and overcome the limitations of postmodernism? How can
critical literacy be critical, empowering, and emancipatory within
the alternative paradigm? And what does this alternative paradigm
imply in relation to literacy pedagogy? These and other questions
are explored in this book. The analysis should be accessible and
helpful to those who are interested in the theoretical grounding
for critical literacy. Literacy educators will also find the
discussion of pedagogical implications useful in informing their
practices.
