The book critiques the evolution of literacy studies, particularly addressing the New Literacy Studies and its implications across various disciplines. It argues that understanding literacy requires a historical perspective, emphasizing its impact on our conceptual frameworks. The author, Graff, highlights the decline of critical foundations in literacy studies, which hampers literacy promotion efforts. By examining literacy through diverse lenses such as linguistics, anthropology, and digital communication, the work advocates for innovative approaches to understanding and teaching literacy, appealing to scholars and students in multiple fields.
