"To provide a specific case study of this complex cultural formation, Cynthia L. Selfe discusses the Technology Literacy Challenge, an official, federally sponsored literacy project begun in 1996 that has changed - at fundamentally important levels - the definition of literacy and the practices recognized as constituting literate behavior in America. Selfe tries to identify the effects of this new literacy agenda, focusing specifically on what she calls "serious and shameful" inequities it fosters in our culture and in the public education system: among them, the continuing presence of racism, poverty, and illiteracy."--BOOK JACKET. 000354234 650_0 $$aComputers and literacy$$zUnited States. 000354234 650_0 $$aTechnological literacy$$zUnited States. 000354234 650_0 $$aLiteracy$$xSocial aspects$$zUnited States. 000354234 830_0 $$aStudies in writing & rhetoric. 000354234 85200 $$bgen$$hLC149.5$$i.S45$$i1999 000354234 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:354234$$pGLOBAL_SET 000354234 980__ $$aBIB 000354234 980__ $$aBOOK
