When teachers are familiar with what adults and children bring with
them into the classroom, they are far better prepared to develop
appropriate curricula and pedagogical techniques. Close to Home is
a unique portrayal and analysis of the language, literacy, and
cultural resources of a social network of Mexicano adults living in
a rural community in Mexico and Chicago's inner city. By exploring
the ways in which this group's experiences as immigrants have
affected their communicative practices, the author provides a basis
for understanding how researchers, policy makers, and educators can
provide these adults and their children with a relevant education
that effectively embraces their schooling and lived experience.
After establishing a historical and sociocultural context for the
author's analysis, this rich ethnographic study presents a variety
of oral and written sample texts, including tape recordings of
everyday oral language use, personal letters, and autobiographical
writing.
