"Rebecca Rogers’ book takes the field of literacy studies into new ground. Richly theorized and beautifully illustrated through compelling examples of situated practice, it demonstrates how teachers might enable powerful literacies whereby students and teachers can work together to learn about social justice and take action."--Barbara Comber, Research Professor of Education, University of South Australia
