She claims that classroom participation grades are not only fair but are necessary. Drawing on recent work on introverts (e.g., Susan Cain’s popular new book, “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking“), she suggests that in order to be successful in today’s world, it is imperative that introverted students be taught and coerced through grades and expectations to participate in class.

Indeed, we argue that most of the theoretical advances that have been made in the field of literacy studies over the last 25 years have had their origin in discoveries about literacy and learning not in school, but outside it. To talk about literacy these days, both in school and out, is to speak of events, practices, activities, ideologies, discourses, and identities (and at times to do so almost unreflectively, so much a part of our customary academic ways of thinking have these categories and terminology become). Again, we argue that in large part this new theoretical vocabulary sprang from examinations of the uses and functions of literacy in contexts other than school.

Drawing on three years of ethnographic documentation of weekly meetings and a historical archive of meetings over 30 years, I characterize the teachers' knowledge about teaching and learning as a feminist stance, steeped in the particular. I argue further that the teachers' analysis of and knowledge about teaching and learning comes from a grounded, phenomenological standpoint that attends to the multiplicity, complexity, and uncertainty that characterize learning. Finally, I explore the ways the routines of this group allow teachers to develop a common language and set of practices to speak back to the restrictive mandates of the school district.

Cherland combines ethnographic detail garnered from a yearlong study with extensive and explicitly feminist and neo-Marxist analysis. She uses thick description of the rules and norms that govern how people-particularly girls-read in a small town and how they learn and are taught to read, to argue that reading always occurs in particular cultural contexts. Critical structural analyses of society and schooling are sandwiched between the details of the reading lives of 11-and 12-year-old female readers in their sixth-grade year. Unlike authors who examine reading from psychological and individual perspectives, Cherland offers us an interpretive study grounded in the field of anthropology to argue for the essentially social nature of reading.
