"...sets the groundwork for a new generation of researchers and advocates for critical literacy and student empowerment...This book works effectively as a powerful contrast to the push toward so-called ‘scientifically-based’ education research and standardization....Highly Recommended." – CHOICE, August 2007, Vol. 44, No. 11
“This book convincingly and thoroughly makes an argument, and offers conceptual and practical support, for advocacy research in critical literacy education. It represents a brilliant and significant contribution to the field of literacy education.”
