"[This book] gives us strategies for bringing life back to school;
it allows us to think creatively about connecting instruction to
the lives of children who have not been well-served; it helps us
learn to value the gifts with words our children of color bring;
and it gives us hope for educating a generation that can change the
status quo, that will build the America we have yet to see...the
one that made that as-yet-unfulfilled promise of 'liberty and
justice for all.'"Lisa Delpit, From the Foreword Toward a Literacy
of Promise examines popular assumptions about literacy and
challenges readers to question how it has been used historically
both to empower and to oppress. The authors offer an alternative
view of literacy - a "literacy of promise" - that charts an
emancipatory agenda for literacy instructional practices in
schools. Weaving together critical perspectives on pedagogy,
language, literature, and popular texts, each chapter provides an
in-depth discussion that illuminates how a literacy of promise can
be realized in school and classrooms. Although the major focus is
on African American middle and secondary students as a population
that has experienced the consequences of inequality, the chapters
demonstrate general and specific applications to other populations.
