| 520 | |a "Reveals how two groups of immigrants who share a primary language nevertheless have very different experiences of literacy in the United States. It describes the social realities facing documented and undocumented immigrants who use everyday acts of writing to negotiate papers - the visas, green cards, and passports that promise access to the American Dream. It is both an ethnography, filled with illuminating details about contemporary immigrant lives, and a critical intervention into two leading - and conflicting - scholarly ideas of literacy and its social role. Although popular thinking and scholarship have viewed literacy as a method of culturally assimilating immigrants to the nation, Kate Vieira finds that upward mobility and social inclusion in the United States are linked to literacy in complex ways. She explains how migrants experience literacy not as a vehicle for assimilation (as educational policy makers often assert) or as a means of resisting oppression (as literacy scholars often hope) but instead as tied up in papers that confer legal status. Papers and literacy are inextricably bound together, both promoting and constraining opportunities, and they shape why and how migrants read and write"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
