Rereading Shaughnessy from a Postcolonial Perspective.
Gay, Pamela
Journal of Basic Writing, v12 n2 p29-40 Fall 1993
Considers Mina Shaughnessy's metaphor likening the experience of basic writers to that of "uncultured natives" under European colonization. Advocates decolonizing the classroom by devising a pedagogy of voice in a dialogized space that is continually reconstructed from different locations and identities. (HB)
