How do American girls compose and amend their identities? In
this text, prominent scholars in their respective fields examine
the complex social and cultural constructions that shape girls
lives both in and out of school. The book looks at matters ranging
from embedded issues of class, race, ethnicity, immigrant status,
and sexuality to popular culture and personal histories.
Exploring the scholarly literature on gender and education, the
successes and failures of feminist pedagogy, and girls practices
with both traditional and non-traditional texts, as well as the
primary sources of a material culture, the authors expose the
myriad forces that script girls gender, identity, and literacy. The
distinctive contribution of this book is to open up new discussions
of girls in American classrooms today and to critically examine
their experiences as they navigate preconceived notions of who they
are while forming their personal and public identities, thereby
helping teachers to better understand and create classroom
experiences that make girls visible to themselves and to
others.
