LITERACY CULTURE AND IDENTITY - JILL SINCLAIR B...

In Literacy  Culture and Identity   Canadian literacy educator and researcher Jill Sinclair
Bell uses narrative inquiry to argue that literacy should be understood as an individual
construct growing out of personal experiences shaped by societal attitudes. Through her
innovative autobiographical study of an attempt to become literate in Chinese  Dr. Bell makes
evident the conflicting stories of literacy held by members of different cultures. The
difficulties encountered and the resulting challenge to the image of self highlight the degree
to which identity is bound up in literacy and learning practices. Given the multicultural
nature of education in North America today  this individually and culturally based notion of
literacy has profound implications for our understanding of the teaching and learning
situation.
