And how might a reimagining of relevance, shaped through the voices of young men of color, enhance literacy teaching and learning? Based on case studies of six young Black, Latino, and South Asian men and their reading experiences, this book reconceptualizes the term \u003cem\u003erelevance\u003c\/em\u003e as it applies to and is applied within literacy education (middle school through college). The author reveals how four dimensions of relevance--Identity, Spatiality, Temporality, and Ideology--can guide educators in supporting the reading and meaning-making experiences of students in ways that honor the complexities of their lives and enhance their criticality. Sciurba frames relevance from a student-centered perspective as conditions that are practically, socially, and\/or conceptually applicable to one's life. Readers can use this book to disrupt problematic enactments of relevance in literacy spaces that are rooted in assumptions about who young people are, culturally or otherwise, as well as how they think and maneuver through their complex worlds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a nuanced understanding of relevance in literacy education in order to successfully enact culturally relevant pedagogy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDraws on scholarly literature from a broad range of fields, including sociology, cultural studies, literary studies, and physical science studies. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShowcases what a nondeficit approach to working with Black, Latino, South Asian, and other young people of color can look like in educational contexts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines data from longitudinal qualitative studies with six students and young men of color that took place across 10 years beginning in a New York City middle school.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKatie Sciurba\u003c\/strong\u003e is an assistant professor of literacies and children's literature at the University of Georgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 8.97 x 6.26 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 22, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755187306784,"sku":"9780807786246","price":68.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/985e4fdda07403663a001751e2551d1c.webp?v=1780052339","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/reading-and-relevance-reimagined-celebrating-the-literacy-lives-of-young-men-of-color-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
