| Description: |
Freire and Macedo analyse the connection between literacy and politics according to whether it produces existing social relations, or introduces a new set of cultural practices that promote democratic and emancipatory change. |
| Synopsis: |
At a time when popularizers of cultural literacy are prescribing a cultural canon for the purpose of prying open the 'closed minds' of American youth ...Literacy provides an articulate and courageous response. Harvard Educational Review Every chapter ...asks teachers to thing again about how they teach, what they want for their pupils, and how to get on with it. Times Educational Supplement [This] book directs our attention to literacy in its broadest sense so that we can better evaluate the shortcomings of our work as educators at all levels of learning.
