Community Literacy Programs and the Politics of Change

Product Description An examination of community literacy programs--with an eye toward radical change. Review “This book does a wonderful job of bringing together an astounding number of provocative ideas in a way that links theory and practice. Grabill’s viewpoint―that institutions that affect community literacy programs can be redesigned in a participatory fashion that both empower the users of those programs and improve the institutions attempting to meet users’ needs―is brilliant. I haven’t seen this idea anywhere in my literacy reading, and yet I am convinced that Grabill is right.” ― Mary Sue Garay, coeditor of Expanding Literacies: English Teaching and the New Workplace“…this book is extremely useful for teachers and researchers because it problematizes literacy theories and then offers clear steps toward solutions.” ― Anthropology & Education Quarterly About the Author Jeffrey T. Grabill is Assistant Professor of English at Georgia State University.
