Through an innovative approach of critical ethnography and literacy research via case-study methodologies, Enacting Adolescent Literacies across Communities: Latino/a Scribes and Their Rites analyzes Latino/a adolescents’ engagement

with the elements of literacy for English language arts learning and understanding. How young people enact literacies in their bicultural lives and understand literary traditions today reveals their own interests in democracy, equity, and opportunity. Moreover, the rites they perform often recover buried histories, mirrors, and stories similar to the pre-Columbian scribes whose intellectual legacy is relevant in the twenty-first century. R. Joseph Rodríguez illustrates how adolescents experience scribal identities and language pluralism that sustains their cultural knowledge as they make meaning and enact literacies with diverse audiences in civic and schooling communities.

Reviews for Enacting Adolescent Literacies across Communities: Latino/a Scribes and Their Rites

Enacting Adolescent Literacies across Communities: Latino/a Scribes and Their Rites is a powerful reminder of the inherent political commitments embedded in the work of youth as they come into presence both in and out of school. R. Joseph Rodriguez attends to the importance of spaces within and beyond school, where scribal identities, for youth of color in particular, face circumscription. This is a text of resistance and of recreation by and for youth. -- Kevin J. Burke, The University of Georgia
