Literacy in the Lives of Working-Class Adults in Australia: Dominant versus Loca

Description: Literacy in the Lives of Working-Class Adults in Australia by Dr Stephen Black Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Adopting a social practice approach to literacy research based on ethnographic methods, this book provides a strong critique of dominant understandings of the role of literacy in the lives of adults in Australia. It explores how groups of working-class adults can manage the literacy practices of their everyday lives by drawing on social networks of support. It is based on research conducted by the author over a forty-year career in adult literacy education, featuring the voices of varied adult groups, including: prisoners, the long-term unemployed, local council workers, manufacturing workers, adult literacy students, marginalised young people, vocational students, and patients living with a chronic illness (type 2 diabetes).Each chapter explains how dominant society views these adult groups in relation to literacy, and provides a qualitative examination at the local level of how members of these groups manage the literacy practices of their everyday lives. Author Biography Stephen Black is a Research Fellow in the School of Education, University of Technology Sydney, Australia.
