Críticas:

"This compelling and vibrant book presents a call for early years educators to embrace emancipatory literacy pedagogies that pay attention to issues of identity, power, and social justice. Drawing on rich case studies across classrooms, homes, and communities, Souto-Manning and Yoon clearly demonstrate how to engage children and their relational networks in meaningful, inspiring literacy practices that foster critical thinking and creativity. This book is essential for educators, researchers, students and policy makers who want to ensure that early childhood literacy provision is re-envisioned for contemporary times."
―Professor Jackie Marsh, University of Sheffield, School of Education, UK

"Rethinking Early Literacies is a substantial and exciting new contribution to literacy studies. Drawing on both seminal studies and cutting-edge theoretical relational perspectives, this book is alive with voices of children and their teachers. Firmly placed in a Freirean tradition, this is one of the most generative and joyful books on early childhood literacy I have seen in some time. Much needed in the global landscape of accountability and blame!"

―Professor Barbara Comber, School of Education, University of South Australia

Reseña del editor:

Rethinking Early Literacies honors the identities of young children as they read, write, speak, and play across various spaces, in and out of pre/school. Despite narrow curricular mandates and policies, the book highlights the language resources and tools that children cultivate from families, communities, and peers. The chapters feature children's linguistic flexibility with multiple languages, creative appropriation of popular culture, participation in community literacy practices, and social negotiation in the context of play. Throughout the book, the authors critically reframe what it means to be literate in contemporary society, specifically discussing the role of educators in theorizing and rethinking language ideologies for practice. Issues influencing early childhood education in trans/national contexts are forefronted (e.g. racism, immigration rights, readiness) throughout the book, with a call to support and sustain communities of color.
