Literacy as Moral Obligation among African Americans in the Rural Southeast

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book uses life history narratives of African Americans to address how individuals experience literacy in response to their self, others, and their temporal context within one community in the rural southeastern United States. Lachuk argues how literacy is understood as a moral obligation, a means for mobility, and a way of creating a communion of advocacy.
