Elementary and Early Childhood Education

Gee, James.  Social Linguistics and Literacies: Ideology in Discourses.  Philadelphia: Taylor & Francis, 1996.

Dr. Rittenhouse chose this book because:

“Gee’s writing provides an important perspective on the complex social and political nature of ‘literacies’ with which people deal in their daily lives.  His ideas push well beyond a traditional understanding of literacy.”
