Steve Lamos

Interests and Opportunities (eBook, PDF)

Race, Racism, and University Writing Instruction in the Post-Civil Rights Era

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Lamos chronicles several decades of debates over high-risk writing programs on the national level, and locally, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign using critical race theorist Derrick Bell's concept of "interest convergence." To Lamos, understanding the past dynamics of convergence and divergence is key to formulating new strategies of local action and "story-changing" that can preserve and expand race-consciousness and high-risk writing instruction, even in adverse political climates. Recipient of a special commendation from the 2013 (CCCC) Outstanding Book Award selection committee.
