This revised edition of Literacy as Snake Oil further investigates
and critiques the commodification of literacy and education. Since
the publication of the first edition, schools in the U.S. have been
targeted even more as a market for private companies seeking to
profit from the surveillance of NCLB (No Child Left Behind.) Three
chapters have been added: one that deals with the reproduction of
racialized spaces during a textbook adoption, an analysis of
America's Choice by a classroom teacher, and an analysis of the
U.K.'s literacy strategy. This book will inspire teachers to
remember their political commitments to resist oppression and
unethical practice and find ways to subvert teacher-(and student-)
proof packages.
