Review Quotes: "I recommend this book to anyone interested in literacy and how our lives shape our uses of literacy, as well as the many values it has. This book is a moving document of one person's experience, a fascinating exploration of others' experiences, and a scholarly account of the uses and values of literacy, all wrapped in a clear and coherent description of curriculum ideas and practices. The reader will gain an understanding of literacy's uses in repressive social and political contexts and the ways these can be resisted and overcome. A heartfelt book about vivid events and ideas that will engage anyone interested in literacy and education." Kieran Egan, Emeritus Professor of Education, Simon Fraser University
