Identity and the Acquisition of Academic Literacy: A Case Study.
McDonald, Helen
Open Letter, v4 n1 p3-14 1993

It suggests the possibility that members of marginalized minority groups can acquire the literacy practices of the dominant society without becoming complicit in them. (Contains 19 references.) (LB)
