This is a terrific book! It will make a valuable contribution to our writing studies field. It's theoretically very smart and original in its focus and scope with theories and research drawn from a range of fields, and it's engagingly written. Perhaps most importantly, the author also provides a methodology and theory of institutional ethnography (IE) that we can use to make the labor conditions of the writing studies field visible, as both theory and on-the-ground practice, so that we can begin to change those conditions. --Terry Myers Zawacki, professor emerita, George Mason University
