Reviews

"""In Undoing the Digital, Burnett and Merchant make a clear and compelling case for taking up sociomaterial perspectives and relational ontologies in literacy research and practice. Starting from the belief that ""literacy is always emergent,"" Burnett and Merchant develop powerful conceptual tools and frameworks that shift sociocultural literacy theory and research in significant ways. This is an immensely readable and important book."" Michelle A. Honeyford, University of Manitoba, Canada ""In this welcome and clear-sighted exploration of this tangled area, Burnett and Merchant bring their characteristic close observation and deep knowledge of children, classrooms, literacy and the digital to analyse the interweaving of technology and meaning making from a socio-material perspective. An outstanding contribution from two of the leading figures in the field."" Catherine Beavis, Deakin University, Australia"
