(Re)writing identity: New literacy practices among the Prai of northern Thailand. $49.99 This study presents the literacy practices of an ethnic minority group called the Prai who live in northern Thailand and Laos. New literacy practices of reading and writing Prai were first introduced to the Prai in the 1990's and today there are twenty adult readers of Prai among the estimated 20,000 Prai in Thailand. All readers of Prai participated in this study thereby providing a unique and comprehensive look at literacy practices in the Prai language. Secondarily, this study reaches beyond an ethnographic description of literacy practices to understand the relationship between literacy practices and Prai ethnic identity. The findings of this study show everyday literacy practices for the Prai as well as a comprehensive look at literacy practices in the Prai language. The Prai face many challenges including an educational system and a given ethnic identity that marginalizes Prai language and culture. Despite many difficulties, twenty Prai readers have adapted reading and writing Prai to home, work and Christian literacy types in creative and culturally appropriate ways. New literacy practices have influenced conceptions of language and ethnic identity among the Prai. In addition, select Prai readers use literacy to form Prai ethnic identity or to contest the identity they are given by the Thai. Conclusions show that the source of new literacy practices and the introduction of Prai literacy have influenced conceptions and uses of Prai literacy. Prai literacy is perceived to be a Christian practice and is largely relegated to the private sphere. Reading Prai is valued over writing Prai. Gender and education influence who uses Prai literacy to form Prai ethnic identity and contest given ethnic identity. As a trend, Prai women with fewer than six years of Thai school are more likely to use Prai literacy to form or contest Prai ethnic identity. These Prai readers have become local agents and ambassadors of literacy who create and sustain new literacy practices.

Flesh And The Text $86.64 This book is an analysis and practice of writing otherwise in academia. It takes off from Barthes’ claim that ‘Science will become literature’ (1989, p. 10) into a labyrinth of writing in different contexts and genres. In local and specific writing contexts, the author contrasts (social) scientific analytical writing with poetic, dramatic and autoethnographic writing to begin to generate theories about how different types of writing might work differently to construct different knowledges. Data from collective biography projects is re-presented as poetry and as a theatre script. Sections of ‘creative’ or ‘literary’ writing are interspersed with theoretical and methodological analysis. The research methodologies of collective biography and autoethnography are interrogated in the light of poststructural theories on language. This is a risky journey into transgressive writing research where linear narratives of research are disrupted via a series of detours into writing towards a conclusion that stresses the (im)possibilities of conclusions.

Look Ma, Hands On Poetry $9.62 The workshops in Look Ma,”Hands” on Poetry are designed to help teachers and poets familiarize elementary through high school students with a variety of creative and fun ways to engage their imaginations and write poetry! They do so by encouraging teachers and students to explore, together, the art of poetry; i.e., the art of employing the five senses to capture experience in language. The workshops also introduce young writers to a wide range of poets and the poetic techniques and styles that they have incorporated in their writing. As a result when students complete a series of workshops from this book, they will know how to write a poem! They may enjoy reading more poetry, too, because they will have a solid understanding of how poetry works. Finally, there are exciting ideas in Look Ma, “Hands,” on Poetry for ways in which young writers can exhibit and perform their poetry. The workshops in this book run from 45-60 minutes with the time divided into three segments. In the first, the teacher reads and discusses poems that are examples of the types of poetry students will be writing. In the second, the teacher introduces the writing assignment and has students begin writing. Finally, students who finish poems are invited to share them in the remaining class time. Because poetry is the art of capturing experience in language, the workshops are structured around sight, smell, taste, touch, and sound. Each of the workshops in the first five chapters is geared toward exploring one of these senses, and the two later chapters contain workshops that require students to use all five to write their poems. As a result, workshops from each chapter may be used individually or insequence to create one or twoweek poetry units that teachers and students can enjoy. Workshops in the book include the Sleight-of-Hand and Animal Mask Workshops wherein students use metaphor, simile, and personification to create imagery in poems. They use music and musical
