In this new edition, Shannon provides an update of the ideological struggles to name and respond to poverty through the design, content, and pedagogy of reading education, showing how, through their representations and framing, advocates of liberal, conservative, and neoliberal interpretations attempt the ideological practice of teaching the public who they are, what they should know, and what they should value about equality, civic society, and reading. For those who decline these offers, Shannon presents radical democratic interpretations of the relationship between poverty and reading education that position the poor, the public, students, and teachers as agents in redistribution of economic, cultural, and political capital in the United States.
Reviews / Votes
"The revised edition of Reading Poverty is as significant today as it was when it was first published over a decade ago. In this new edition, Shannon examines the inadequacy of current literacy policies and practices and encourages a more radical democratic agenda-one that moves beyond liberal, conservative, and neoliberal solutions and invites action, agency, and collective response."Rebecca Powell, Georgetown College, USA
"This book performs ideological readings of 'poverty' and 'literacy' and attends to larger sociopolitical contexts of education through a distinctive, critical approach. This is a very timely and important book, and Patrick Shannon is the right person to (re)write it."
Jory Brass, Arizona State University, USA

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
