Sommario/riassunto |
|
Hilary Janks addresses key questions about literacy and power in this landmark text that is both engaging and accessible.Her central argument is that competing orientations to critical literacy education ? domination (power), access, diversity, design ? foreground one over the other, but are crucially interdependent and need to work together to create possibilities for redesign and social action that serve a social justice agenda. She examines the theory underpinning each orientation, and develops new theory in the argument for interdependence and integration.Sit |
