Reviews
Through the idea of revisiting, this volume offers new perspectives and new ways of thinking about the nature and purpose of literacy research in education. The case studies are engaging and reflective, demonstrating changes in the researchers, the research participants, and the settings over time. Moreover, the topics and long-term results discussed by the researchers are particularly relevant to teacher-educators and researchers in education and anthropology. The methodology used is highlighted and discussed in detail, and the book will appeal to post-graduate students and researchers engaged in language and literacy studies, educational anthropology, and life-history research...Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, and faculty. - A. L. Hsu, State University of New York College at Old Westbury, for CHOICE, July 2015
