This book examines how working-class high school students '
identity construction is continually mediated by discourses and
cultural practices operating in their classroom, school, family,
sports, community, and workplace worlds. Specifically, it addresses
how responding to cultural differences portrayed in multicultural
literature can serve to challenge adolescents ' allegiances to
status quo discourses and cultural models, and how teachers not
only can rouse students to clarify and change their value stances
related to race, class, and gender, but also provide support for
and validation of students ' self-interrogation.
& nbsp;
Highlighting the influence of sociocultural forces, the book
contributes to understanding the role of institutions in shaping
adolescents ' lives, and identifies needs that must be addressed to
improve those institutions. Current theory and research on critical
discourse analysis, cultural models theory, and identity
construction is meshed with specific applications of that theory
and research to case-study profiles and analysis of classroom
discussions. The instructional strategies described enable
pre-service and in-service teachers to develop their own literature
curriculum and instructional methods.
