Designed to stimulate debate and critical thinking and to draw
readers' attention to the ideological nature of literacy education
across a broad range of literacy contexts, this book crosses
traditional boundaries between the study of family, community, and
school literacies to offer a unique global perspective on multiple
literacies, from theory to case studies of various settings. These
examples suggest ways that literacy practices should be created by
simultaneously shaping relationships and identity, and by
privileging particular literacy practices in particular situations.
The dialogue within the book among chapter authors writing across
traditionally distinct fields highlights the interconnections among
diverse literacy sites and stimulates the pursuit of a more
integrated and interdisciplinary approach to literacy education.
The critical and dialogic approach serves to challenge and extend
many conventional notions surrounding literacy education in
communities, schools, and families.
"Portraits of Literacy Across Families, Communities, and Schools:
Intersections and Tensions" is particularly relevant for scholars
and students in the area of literacy, broadly speaking, including
family literacy, community literacy, adult literacy, critical
language studies, multiliteracies, youth literacy, English as a
second language, language and social policy, and global literacy.
Additionally, the inclusion of studies derived from a variety of
research methods and designs makes this is a useful text in
research methodology courses that aim to present and analyze
real-life examples of literacy research designs and methods.
