Big changes have been taking place in reading in recent years.
While American society has become more visual and digital, the
general state of literacy in America is in crisis, with educators
and public officials worried about falling educational standards,
the rising influence of popular culture, and growing numbers of
non-English-speaking immigrants. But how justified are these
worries? By focusing on "reading", this book takes a serious look
at public literacy, but chooses not to blame the familiar
scapegoats. Instead, The End of Reading proposes that in a diverse
and rapidly changing society, we need to embrace multiple
definitions of what it means to be a literate person.
