摘要：Literacy in Times of Crisis: Practices and Perspectives is an edited volume of research perspectives on the dynamic relationship between literacy and crisis. Crisis is defined as “a turning point around which things change” (p. 1). Crisis can take many forms including the effects of a natural disaster, poverty, divorce, the loss of a family member, the incarceration of a parent, the diagnosis of a disability, homelessness, or teenage pregnancy. A crisis may also result from cultural or religious differences when value clashes lead to intense conflicts. This book explores all of these types of crisis, both individual and societal, in relation to literacy practices. This exploration is pertinent to educators because many students in classrooms often face life-altering changes.
