Framed by historic developments-from the Open Admissions movement
of the 1960s and 1970s to the attacks on remediation that
intensified in the 1990s and beyond-BASIC WRITING traces the arc of
these large social and cultural forces as they have shaped and
reshaped the field. GEORGE OTTE and REBECCA WILLIAMS MLYNARCZYK
balance fidelity to the past with present relevance, local concerns
with (presumptively) global knowledge, personal judgment with
(apparent) objectivity. BASIC WRITING circles back on the same
general story, looking for different themes or seeing the same
themes from different perspectives. What emerges is a gestalt of
Basic Writing that will give readers interested in its history,
self-definition, pedagogy, or research a sense of the important
trends and patterns. Otte and Mlynarczyk make research trajectories
clear without oversimplifying them or denying the undeniable
blurring, dissensus, and differential development that
characterizes the field. GEORGE OTTE is a member of the doctoral
faculty at the CUNY Graduate Center in the PhD Programs in English,
Urban Education, and Interactive Technology and Pedagogy. He served
as coeditor of the JOURNAL OF BASIC WRITING from 1996 to 2002. He
is the coauthor with Nondita Mason of WRITERS' ROLES: ENACTMENTS OF
THE PROCESS (Harcourt, 1994) and, with Linda Palumbo, of CASTS OF
THOUGHT: WRITING IN AND AGAINST TRADITION (Macmillan, 1990).
REBECCA WILLIAMS MLYNARCZYK has taught basic writing at the City
University of New York since 1974. She is currently professor of
English at the CUNY Graduate Center and Kingsborough Community
College, where she codirects the ESL program. She is the author of
CONVERSATIONS OF THE MIND: THE USES OF JOURNAL WRITING FOR
SECOND-LANGUAGE LEARNERS (Erlbaum) and the coauthor, with Steven
Haber, of IN OUR OWN WORDS: STUDENT WRITERS AT WORK (Cambridge).
She has served as coeditor of the JOURNAL OF BASIC WRITING since
2003.
