Book Description
Contributors to this book have illuminated the practices of literacy and learning in the lives of urban youth. Their descriptions and assessments of these practices are anchored in perspectives of «New Literacy Studies». The ten studies explore a number of urban scenes in order to engage, understand, and present multiple youth identities, attitudes, activities, representations, and stories connected to a range of situated, adaptive, and voluntary uses of literacy. The authors use a variety of conceptual and methodological approaches to explicate the various skills, the distinct methods of production or composition, the subjective and collective meanings, the mutable and variegated texts, and the dynamic contexts that urban youth utilize for expression, affirmation, and pleasure. There is a response to each chapter by a major scholar in its area of focus. Together, these studies and responses contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the pedagogies, politics, and possibilities of literacy and learning in and out of school.

Book Description
Excerpt from White Diamonds Better Than "Black Diamonds" Slave States Impoverished by Slave Labor; Read the Appendix, and Decide From Fact The first View we take of the human organization leads us to the conclusion of the poet, that mind makes the man. The essentials of his existence, of his character and life, of his end and destiny, are found in his breast, mysteri ously clustered and associated, blended and yet distinct. A few elementary faculties, or organs, constitute the whole of this delicate, symmetrical, wonderful fabric. This endow ment is sacred, temporarily lent to earth, to be improved and employed for lofty purposes and winged for immor tality; in the meanwhile, it is held in sure custody and familiar supervision by its creator, to disenthral it from every disability, and to secure its everlasting escape from the bondage of corruption and mortality. Man is such a creature, that without these features of mind or spirit, or with them paralyzed and debased by neglect, vitiated by abuse or perverted by false lights, he sinks to a level with the brutes; but with appropriate and efficient culture and refinement, he mounts upward as on eagles' wings, and vies with angels. There can be no doubt that the Creator designed and ex pected to receive richer tributes of praise and glory from the world of mind, intermingling unseen with the material creation, than from all the other stupendous productions of his six days' work. Hence, by endowing mind with fea tures compounded of rationality and moral sensibility, God has linked it to the supreme intelligence of heaven, and entwined its spiritual tendrils around his eternal throne and nothing but the benumbing and deranging power of depravity, aggravated by unpropitious outward circum stances and relentless arbitrary violence, can frustrate this ennobling system.
