Herausgeber: Greene, Stuart; Genishi, Celia; Abt-Perkins, Dawn

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Featuring contributions from a stellar group of teachers and researchers, this volume opens new territory on a critical but rarely addressed topic--the intersection of race with literacy research and practice. Grounded in classroom experiences, this insightful volume: * Shows how race is constructed through literacy instruction and how adopting a "colorblind" stance serves to maintain a system of racism that is pervasive in and out of schools. * Develops authentic knowledge of teaching and learning practices to insure that student and teacher voices are heard. * Considers the ethics of research agendas and the consequences of their findings, discussing the importance of research in addressing issues of racial inequality in school literacy achievement. * Details the value of the research process itself, coming to terms with the researcher's aims, audiences, and his or her responsibilities as a potential agent of change.
