This social action-oriented text evolved from a symposium held at the 1999 annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association, to bring anthropological perspectives to bear on the negotiation of language, literacy, and power relations in linguistically and culturally diverse contexts. Drawing on research in American Indian, Latin American, African American, and urban multiethnic communities, the chapters demonstrate how literacy and schooling are negotiated by children, adults, and communities, and the ways in which education becomes a key site of struggle surrounding questions of whose knowledge, discourse, and literacy practices "count." Written for an interdisciplinary audience of scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and citizens, the chapters reveal much about the roots of inequality and suggest possible avenues for positive change.
