Reframing Literacy for Social Justice. 330 $aBased on an ethnographic study involving three families who live on a Midlands council housing estate, this book presents portraits of everyday lives - and the literacy practices that are part of them - as a way to explore the complex relationship between literacy and social justice. Each portrait focuses on a different aspect of literacy in everyday life: drawing on perspectives offered by the long and diverse tradition of literacy studies, each is followed by discussion of a different way of looking at literacy and what this means for social justice. The lens of literacy allows us to see the challenges faced by many families and communities as a result of social policy, and how a narrow view of literacy is often implicated within these challenges. It also illustrates the ways in which literacy practices are powerful resources in the creative and collaborative navigation of everyday lives. Arguing for the importance of looking carefully at everyday literacy in order to understand the intertwining factors that threaten justice, this book positions literary research and education as central to the struggle for wider social change. It will be of interest and value to researchers, educators and students of literacy for social justice. 606 $aLiteracy 606 $aContinuing education 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aLearning, Psychology of 606 $aLiteracy 606 $aLifelong Learning 606 $aSociology of Education 606 $aInstructional Psychology 615 0$aLiteracy. 615 0$aContinuing education. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aLearning, Psychology of. 615 14$aLiteracy. 615 24$aLifelong Learning. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aInstructional Psychology. 676 $a374.0124 700 $aJones$b Susan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0684830 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299540803321 996 $aPortraits of Everyday Literacy for Social Justice$92536596 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03664nam 2200757 a 450 001 9910966909403321 005 20100916153028.0 010 $a9798216006503 010 $a9786612963643 010 $a9781282963641 010 $a1282963643 010 $a9780313372285 010 $a0313372284 024 7 $a10.5040/9798216006503 035 $a(CKB)2550000000019645 035 $a(OCoLC)707081217 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10441980 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000472646 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12231391 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000472646 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10433831 035 $a(PQKB)11670456 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL678355 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10441980 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL296364 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC678355 035 $a(OCoLC)526812674 035 $a(UtOrBLW)BP9798216006503BC 035 $a(Perlego)4168977 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000019645 100 $a20100219e20102024 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aReforming the electoral process in America $etoward more democracy in the 21st century /$fBrian L.

Quick-fix plans to "restore democracy" are a dime a dozen. Happily, Reforming the Electoral Process in America: Toward More Democracy in the 21st Century offers a more nuanced approach, emphasizing the value of civic engagement in a democratic society. Author Brian L. Fife situates our current plight in the context of the growth of democracy, from the Founding Fathers through the Jackson era, the enfranchisement of blacks after the Civil War, women's suffrage, and the Voting Rights Act of the 1960s. He reflects on the work of the Framers as it pertains to voting and elections, compares voting laws and voter turnout in the various states, and offers an analysis of the impact of money in American elections. Ultimately, Fife proposes a blueprint for reform that includes national same-day voter registration, elimination of punch card and mechanical voting machines, reconsideration of felons' voting rights, regional primaries, and the abolition of the Electoral College. 606 $aElection law$zUnited States 606 $aElection law$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aElections$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 615 0$aElection law 615 0$aElection law$xHistory. 615 0$aElections$xGovernment policy 676 $a342.73/07 700 $aFife$b Brian L$01487965 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bBWX 801 2$bCDX 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966909403321 996 $aReforming the electoral process in America$94359245 997 $aUNINA
