Through an innovative approach of critical ethnography and literacy
research via case-study methodologies, Enacting Adolescent
Literacies across Communities: Latino/a Scribes and Their Rites
analyzes Latino/a adolescents' engagement with the elements of
literacy for English language arts learning and understanding. How
young people enact literacies in their bicultural lives and
understand literary traditions today reveals their own interests in
democracy, equity, and opportunity. Moreover, the rites they
perform often recover buried histories, mirrors, and stories
similar to the pre-Columbian scribes whose intellectual legacy is
relevant in the twenty-first century. R. Joseph Rodriguez
illustrates how adolescents experience scribal identities and
language pluralism that sustains their cultural knowledge as they
make meaning and enact literacies with diverse audiences in civic
and schooling communities.

In this book, Rodriguez uses theories of critical literacy and
culturally responsive teaching to argue that our schools, and our
culture, need sustaining and inclusive young adult (YA)
literature/s to meet the needs of culturally and linguistically
diverse readers and all students. This book provides an outline for
the study of literature through cultural and literary criticism,
via essays that analyze selected YA literature (drama, fiction,
nonfiction, and poetry) in four areas: scribal identities and the
self-affirmation of adolescents; gender and sexualities; schooling
and education of young adult characters; and teachers' roles and
influences in characters' coming of age. Applying critical literacy
theories and a youth studies lens, this book shines a light on the
need for culturally sustaining and inclusive pedagogies to read
adolescent worlds. Complementing these essays are critical
conversations with seven key contemporary YA literature writers,
adding biographical perspectives to further expand the critical
scholarship and merits of YA literature.
