The Difficult Dance of Critical Literacy.
Lesley, Mellinee
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v40 n6 p420-24 Mar 1997
Shares some of the author' poignant reflections on her personal experience of introducing critical literacy to a continuing education class in reading and composition. Notes that two things were missing from this class: an equal representation of student voices, and the teacher's identity as a "text" for the classroom dynamic of authority. (SR)
