The literacy autobiography is a personal narrative reflecting on
how one's experiences of spoken and written words have contributed
to their ongoing relationship with language and literacy.
Transnational Literacy Autobiographies as Translingual Writing is a
cutting-edge study of this engaging genre of writing in academic
and professional contexts. In this state-of-the-art collection,
Suresh Canagarajah brings together 11 samples of writing by
students that both document their literary journeys and pinpoint
the seminal works affecting their development as translingual
readers and writers. Integrating the narrative of the author, which
is written as his own literacy autobiography, with a close analysis
of these texts, this book: presents a case for the literacy
autobiography as an archetypal genre that prepares writers for the
conventions and processes required in other genres of writing;
demonstrates the serious epistemological and rhetorical
implications behind the genre of literacy autobiography among
migrant scholars and students; effectively translates theoretical
publications on language diversity for classroom purposes,
providing a transferable teaching approach to translingual writing;
analyzes the tropes of transnational writers and their craft in
"meshing" translingual resources in their writing; demonstrates how
transnationalism and translingualism are interconnected, guiding
readers toward an understanding of codemeshing not as a cosmetic
addition to texts but motivated toward resolving inescapable
personal and social dilemmas. Written and edited by one of the most
highly regarded linguists of his generation, this book is key
reading for scholars and students of applied linguistics, TESOL,
and literacy studies, as well as tutors of writing and composition
worldwide.
