Literacy remains a contentious and polarized educational, media and political issue. What has
emerged from the continuing debate is a recognition by many critical researchers and theorists
that literacy in education is allied closely with matters of language and culture, ideology and
discourse, knowledge and power.
This new series of monographs and anthologies draws together critical, cross-disciplinary
work on language and literacy in a format accessible to researchers and students of education. its
aim is to peting discourses and alternative practices to the extant technical literature
which offers ‘state of the art’ insights and ‘how to’ formulas for the achievement of literacy
narrowly conceivedas individual, psychological skills. Drawing perspectives variously from crrtical
social theory and cultural studies, poststructuralism and feminisms, sociolinguistics and the
ethnography munication, social history parative education, the contributors to
this series begin a critical interrogation of taken-for-granted assumptions which have guided
educational policy, research and practice.
