I would like to make available to you 2 book reviews I've recently written:
(1) "Engagement" or Immersion? "Chaos" or Lack of Capital?
African-American Children in Whole Language Classrooms. (A review of
ENGAGING CHILDREN: COMMUNITY AND CHAOS IN THE LIVES OF YOUNG LITERACY
LEARNERS, by Allen Jobeth, Barbara Michalove and Betty Shockley.
Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann, 1993)
This review will appear in _Curriculum Inquiry_
(2) Cognitve Constructivism and Reading Expertise: A Stocktaking of
Reading Verbal Protocol Findings. (A review of VERBAL PROTOCOLS OF
READING: THE NATURE OF CONSTRUCTIVELY RESPONSIVE READING, by M. Pressley
and P. Afflerbach. Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum, 1995.
I'm thinking of submitting this reveiw to a journal, and would like to
have your comments on it; also could you suggest what journals might be
interested in this topic?
Thanks a million!
Angel
P.S.: I've forgot to say: the way I'm making these reviews available is:

Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When ... we stand face to face in the cyber space? ...
--Adapted from: The Ballad of East and West, Rudyard Kipling
