Anyone studying or teaching literacy, English language arts, curriculum, or educational foundations, would certainly benefit from Gorlewski's beautiful presentation of how we can understand the complicated conversation that unfolds in and shapes today's ELA classrooms and the social forces affecting those classrooms.' -Peter Taubman is Professor of English Education in the Department of Secondary Education at Brooklyn College.
