Whitewashed Critical Perspectives : Restoring the Edge to Edgy Ideas PDF
Edited by Catherine Compton-Lilly, Tisha Lewis Ellison, Kristen Perry, Peter Smagorinsky
Description
This volume examines revolutionary constructs in literacy education and demonstrates how they have been gentrified, whitewashed, and appropriated, losing their revolutionary edge so as to become palatable for the mainstream.
Written by top scholars in literacy education, chapters cover key concepts that were originally conceived as radical theories to upset the status quo—including Third Space, Funds of Knowledge, Culturally Relevant Pedagogies, and more.
Each chapter addresses how the core theory was culturally appropriated and de-fanged to support rather than take down racial and societal hierarchies.
Critiquing the harmful impact of watering down these theories, the contributors offer ways to restore the edge to these once groundbreaking ideas, reject racist and assimilationist trends, and support the original vision behind these liberatory theories.
In so doing, this volume adopts a truly radical, critical stance that is essential for researchers, scholars, and students in literacy education.
