Daniell. Beth. "Narratives of Literacy: Connecting
Composition to Culture." CCC 50.3 (1999): 393-410.
Abstract:
Daniell shows how the two debates in literacy scholarship of the 1980s, cultural literacy (E.D. Hirsch) and the Great Divide theory, are challenged by ethnographic narratives and social construction ideology. She suggests that thinking and writing about literacy in context-specific, material locations makes it more appropriate to speak of literacies rather than a single identifiable literacy.
