Critical Literacy and Urban Youth offers an interrogation of
critical theory developed from the author's work with young people
in classrooms, neighborhoods, and institutions of power. Through
cases, an articulated process, and a theory of literacy education
and social change, Morrell extends the conversation among literacy
educators about what constitutes critical literacy while also
examining implications for practice in secondary and postsecondary
American educational contexts. This book is distinguished by its
weaving together of theory and practice. Morrell begins by arguing
for a broader definition of the "critical" in critical literacy -
one that encapsulates the entire Western philosophical tradition as
well as several important "Othered" traditions ranging from
postcolonialism to the African-American tradition. Next, he looks
at four cases of critical literacy pedagogy with urban youth:
teaching popular culture in a high school English classroom;
conducting community-based critical research; engaging in
cyber-activism; and doing critical media literacy education.
Lastly, he returns to theory, first considering two areas of
critical literacy pedagogy that are still relatively unexplored:
the importance of critical reading and writing in constituting and
reconstituting the self, and critical writing that is not just
about coming to a critical understanding of the world but that
plays an explicit and self-referential role in changing the world.
Morrell concludes by outlining a grounded theory of critical
literacy pedagogy and considering its implications for literacy
research, teacher education, classroom practice, and advocacy work
for social change.
