Publisher Description:

This provocative new title in the NCRLL Collection is a call-to-action for new and experienced scholars to re-examine their biases and assumptions and adopt a more critically conscious stance in their work. Balancing a historical grounding with contemporary research, this book focuses on how critical theories are manifested in language and literacy research. The authors examine overlooked roots and routes to present-day critical thinking and predict how branches of theorizing may emerge, evolve, and transform research in a democratic society.

  • Situates critical theorizing in a global context.
  • Provides a framework for understanding shifts in critical theorizing.
  • Features innovative critical analysis of current language and literacy research.

Challenges new and experienced researchers to actively address social justice
