SUMMARY

"... a unique attempt to deepen current understanding and use of Bourdieu in educational theory and practice. This volume promises to be a leading resource for literacy researchers seeking to investigate the theories of Bourdieu."Joanne Larson, University of Rochester, New York, United States In this volume scholars from around the world focus on how a Bourdieuian stance can enable a powerful socicultural and cultural analysis of literacy education theory and practice and serve as an effective tool in analyzing relations of hierarchy and domination. Although there has been a growing body of Bourdieuian-inspired research in various sectors of education, this book is the first to present both theoretical and practical articulation of his ideas in the field of literacy education. It brings together three major clusters of work: rethinking of the doxa of the social fields of language and literacy education; explorations of alternative objectifications of educational fields forming around cultural and linguistic minorities, new media and technologies; and studies on the formation of the literate habitus in homes and classrooms, curriculum and schooling, and addresses theoretical, policy and practical directions. Pierre Bourdieu and Literacy Education is intended for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in literacy education, sociology of education, and curriculum theory, and as a text for advanced courses in these areas.Albright, James is the author of 'Pierre Bourdieu and Literacy Education', published 2007 under ISBN 9780805856873 and ISBN 0805856870.
