{"product_id":"9781350378100","title":"Literacy In The Lives Of Working-Class Adults In Australia: Dominant Versus Local Voices (Adult Learning, Literacy And Social Change)","description":"Adopting a 'social practice' approach to literacy research based on ethnographic methods, this book provides a strong critique of dominant understandings of the role of literacy in the lives of adults. It explores how groups of working-class adults can manage the literacy practices of their everyday lives by drawing on social networks of support. It is based on research conducted by the author over a 40-year career in adult literacy education, featuring the voices of varied adult groups, including prisoners, the long-term unemployed, local council workers, manufacturing workers, adult literacy students, marginalised young people, vocational students, and patients living with a chronic illness (type 2 diabetes). Each chapter follows a format of firstly explaining how dominant society views these adult groups in relation to literacy, followed by a qualitative examination of the perspectives of members of these groups on how they manage the literacy practices of their everyday lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eStephen Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eDec 14, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e240 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1350378100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781350378100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49838739783985,"sku":"9781350378100","price":158.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781350378100_p0_v1_s600x595.jpg?v=1724258589","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781350378100","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
