What They Don’t Learn in School: Literacy in the Lives of Urban Youth (New Literacies and Digital Epistemologies)

Are you looking to gain deeper insights into the lives of urban youth and their literacy practices? Look no further than our book, "What They Don’t Learn in School: Literacy in the Lives of Urban Youth". Written by a group of esteemed contributors, this book delves into the realm of «New Literacy Studies» to shed light on the various identities, attitudes, and activities related to literacy among urban youth.

With ten compelling studies, we explore different urban scenes and provide a comprehensive view of literacy as it exists in the lives of today's youth. Our authors employ a range of conceptual and methodological approaches to uncover the skills, methods of production, subjective meanings, and dynamic contexts through which urban youth express themselves, find affirmation, and experience pleasure.

What sets our book apart is the inclusion of responses from major scholars in each area of focus. These scholars offer valuable insights and engage in a thought-provoking dialogue with the original chapters. As a result, you'll gain a holistic understanding of the pedagogies, politics, and possibilities surrounding literacy and learning both in and out of school.
