In this article, the author discusses action literacy, and suggests that identifying literacy as political, ideological, and connected to power structures and abuses of power is not enough for a proponent of active literacy and critical pedagogy. Action literacy is a literacy of positionality that highlights the importance of movement and flux. It is at this juncture, the place where one position meets another to create a strong and uncertain reader, where people find not only a person's ability to read but also a person's ability to self-reflect--on identity, on environment, and on nation. Political literacy is not, she contends, merely the idea that access to functional literacy is political or that the ability to read strongly is connected to politics; political action literacy aligns itself with a critical politics that concerns itself with nuance, qualification, and movement (often in the form of uncertainty). A more literate world, then, may require a world more conscious of its own fluidity--perhaps a more "androgynous" world, one not wavering between two binaries (male/female, literate/illiterate, read/write) but wavering among the immeasurable number of spaces there are to inhabit, explore, and read from. This does require action; it requires activism; it requires extreme political care and movement from those teaching and shaping literacy pedagogy.
