"...sets the groundwork for a new generation of researchers and
advocates for critical literacy and student empowerment...This book
works effectively as a powerful contrast to the push toward
so-called ‘scientifically-based’ education research and
standardization....Highly Recommended." – CHOICE, August 2007, Vol.
44, No. 11
“This book convincingly and thoroughly makes an argument, and
offers conceptual and practical support, for advocacy research in
critical literacy education. It represents a brilliant and
significant contribution to the field of literacy education.”
