About the Book

This book raises important questions concerning the shame of illiteracy. What does it mean to students to be drawn into a world where family and friends cannot follow? Can the same person appear literate and illiterate at the same time? Is literacy, for that matter, an either/or condition? Does it hurt to be illiterate in more than one language, more than one culture? To whom can literacy education be a threat instead of a promise?

The chapters in this book confront the unknowable implication of joining literate systems, and carry us toward an understanding that can help literacy practitioners and policy-makers at local, national, and international levels to better understand the issues involved in this important area of work.
About the Author: At the State University of New York at Albany, Edward M. Jennings is Assistant Professor of English and Alan C. Purves is Professor of English and Humanities and Director, Center for Writing and Literacy.
