Critical English Education: Enduring Voices, New Perspectives
Critical English education scholars and practitioners are at a crossroads: They must defend the legitimacy and impact of English as a discipline while simultaneously wrestling with the inequitable distribution of achievement in reading and writing across race, class, gender, and geography.
Critical English Education provides important context for the conditions of today’s English classrooms. This book features senior scholars and brave new voices in the field of English language arts reflecting on forces that shape research and practice in the teaching of English within the current political and educational climate–forces such as multicultural, sociocultural, postmodern, and critical theories; critical and culturally responsive pedagogies; and the discourses of multilingualism and translanguaging. The volume also examines the latest research and the most innovative practices in the teaching of writing, reading, and literary theory, and the uses of popular culture and other media.
Critical English Education is a major entry into critical English scholarship and an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand English education’s current moment.
