Great intro to ethnographic studies and literacy

[Fin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I mean, it uses South Park as an example, for crying out loud. Not a dry read at all and tons of interesting exercises.

(ObDisclaimer: I'm currently studying with one of the authors. Still five stars in my book, but adjust as needed to suit your own skepticism. No, he doesn't know I'm posting this.)

A very good intro to literacy studies, and literacy ethnography.
