Through stories of youth using their many voices in and out of school to explore and express their ideas about the world, this book brings to the forefront the reality of lived literacy experiences of adolescents in today's culture in which literacy practices reflect important cultural messages about the interplay of local and global civic engagement. The focus is on three areas of youth civic engagement and cultural critique: homelessness, violence, and performing adolescence. The authors explore how youth appropriate the arts, media, and literacy as resources and how this enables them to express their identities and engage in social and cultural engagement and critique. The book describes how the youth in the various projects represented entered the public sphere; the claims they made; the ways readers might think about pedagogical engagements, practice, and goals as forms of civic engagement; and implications for critical and arts and media-based literacy pedagogies in schools that forward democratic citizenship in a time when we are losing sight of issues of equity and social justice in our communities and nations.
Designed to stimulate debate and critical thinking and to draw
readers' attention to the ideological nature of literacy education
across a broad range of literacy contexts, this book crosses
traditional boundaries between the study of family, community, and
school literacies to offer a unique global perspective on multiple
literacies, from theory to case studies of various settings. These
examples suggest ways that literacy practices should be created by
simultaneously shaping relationships and identity, and by
privileging particular literacy practices in particular situations.
The dialogue within the book among chapter authors writing across
traditionally distinct fields highlights the interconnections among
diverse literacy sites and stimulates the pursuit of a more
integrated and interdisciplinary approach to literacy education.
The critical and dialogic approach serves to challenge and extend
many conventional notions surrounding literacy education in
communities, schools, and families.

Portraits of Literacy Across Families, Communities, and Schools: Intersections and Tensions is particularly relevant for scholars and students in the area of literacy, broadly speaking, including family literacy, community literacy, adult literacy, critical language studies, multiliteracies, youth literacy, English as a second language, language and social policy, and global literacy. Additionally, the inclusion of studies derived from a variety of research methods and designs makes this is a useful text in research methodology courses that aim to present and analyze real-life examples of literacy research designs and methods.
