Lester Faigley. Literacy after the Revolution.

Faigley, Lester. "Literacy after the Revolution." CCC 48.1 (1997): 30-43.

Abstract:

This essay version of Faigley's 1996 CCCC Chair's address traces strengthening influences on the field of rhetoric and composition, particularly the Civil Rights movement, which is an influence he believes has been undone by the digital revolution and the "revolution of the rich." He suggests that although the "tides of history are running against [us]" now, coming together with the shared goal of literacy for equality will hold the field on track as the need for what it teaches increases.
