The book critiques the evolution of literacy studies, particularly addressing the shortcomings of the New Literacy Studies. It argues that understanding literacy requires a historical perspective, emphasizing its impact on our conceptual frameworks. The author, Graff, explores literacy through various disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, and psychology, while highlighting the significance of emerging literacies in digital and visual contexts. This revisionist study aims to restore critical foundations to literacy discussions, making it relevant for scholars and students across multiple fields.
