Writing on the Move (eBook, ePUB)

Migrant Women and the Value of Literacy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the 2019 CCCC Outstanding Book Award. Lorimer Leonard shows how multilingual migrant women both succeed and struggle in their writing contexts. Based on a qualitative study of everyday multilingual writers in the United States, she shows how migrants' literacies are revalued because they move with writers among their different languages and around the world. The book details the complicated reality of multilingual literacy, which is lived at the nexus of prejudice, prestige, and power.
