Chris Schroeder is so obviously correct in recognizing that our hearts and our pedagogies are not as one. It's a compelling monograph. The book is theoretically rich, empirically validated, and pedagogically suggestive. This critique of institutions' rhetorics of diversity and those rhetorics' distance from literacy practices will prove a great contribution to rhetoric and composition studies. -Victor Villanueva.
Diversity, despite what we say, disturbs us. We debate linguistic rights, the need for an official language, and educational policies for language minority students. We believe in the rights of individuals, including the right to one's own language, yet we still sponsor a single common language, monolingual and standard, for full participation and communication in both the academy and in U.S. society.
Diverse by Design argues that linguistic ideologies are ever more critical within increasingly globalized societies. While diversity might disturb us, its challenges can be overcome through a more expansive sense of social identity, placing literacy and education at the forefront of debates about educational equity and human lives.
