Abstract

examples because they give explanatory power to her references to difficult concepts. Martin's use of stories is very effective.I recommend this book for two separate audiences. The first three chapters would be useful for academics to understand the ways in which critical theory may have failed literacy practitioners and how poststructural theories may provide new directions. Even though the section on psychoanalytical theories needs close examination to understand its relevance, it is an interesting concept to ponder. However, the last three chapters will be extremely useful for practitioners who want to make their instruction more powerful and relevant for their students. The book's value as a curriculum tool is outstanding. Even with its contradictions and dual audiences, it is a book that can be used by both academics and practitioners.
