'Brian Street is to be commended for providing this collection of ethnographic studies, they are all informed by recent research and possess a unity of perspective' - Dennis Malone, The Linguist

'The book raises useful questions of research and application for those studying literacy in relation to development ... As a book that was short-listed for the best publication in 2002 by the British Association for Applied Linguistics, this collection has earned a well-deserved place in the burgeoning literature on critical literacy.' - A. Suresh Canagarajah, The International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism

Brian Street is Professor of Language in Education at King's College, London, and Visiting Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. His publications include Literacy in Theory and Practice, Cross-cultural Approaches to Literacy, and Social Literacies.
