Terms of Work for Composition: A Materialist Critique

by Bruce Horner, John Trimbur (Foreword)

In this book, Bruce Horner provides a cultural materialist critique of discourse on work in composition. Each chapter traces the ways in which one of the defining terms of composition--work, students, politics, academic, traditional, and writing--operates as a site for competing constructions of composition's identity.

There are few better books of either the Marxist or the Composition persuasion, and this book manages to contribute significantly to both. There's a rough edge or two, but you can't agree with everybody all the time, I guess.
