Rezensionen

"Current conversations and debates around the culture wars, cancel culture, critical race theory and critical literacy make Jennifer Alford's comprehensive text highly relevant to these times..." [...] "Alford's considered appraisal of critical literacy and her inclusive analysis of so many of the complex issues surrounding the teaching of critical literacy with EAL students is commendable. She delves into teachers' inherent beliefs, their acquired understandings, what value EAL students bring to the learning, the tensions existing between shifting policy directions and teachers' practices and around the many and varied texts students engage with and are exposed to with respect to access, domination, diversity and design..." [...] "It is a text worthy of all educators' reading and returning to in our challenging post-truth world in order to empower teachers and students with agency to understand how they are being shaped and with their ability to enact social change."
