>Dear NCTE Assembly Members,
>
>Arnetha Ball and I want to announce the publication of Bakhtinian
>Perspectives on Language, Literacy and Learning, by Cambridge
>University Press. It contains a number of papers from the 2000 NCTE
>Midwinter conference in Berkeley and we thank the Assembly and its
>membership for its important contributions to this volume.
>
>Here's the blurb that Cambridge uses to summarize the book:
>
>This represents a multidisciplinary collaboration that highlights the
>significance of Mikhail Bakhtin's theories to modern scholarship in
>the field of language and literacy. Book chapters examine such
>important questions as: What resources do students bring from their
>home/community environments that help them become literate in school?
>What knowledge do teachers need in order to meet the literacy needs
>of varied students? How can teacher educators and professional
>development programs better understand teachers' needs and help them
>to become better prepared to teach diverse literacy learners? What
>challenges lie ahead for literacy learners in the coming century?
>Chapters are contributed by scholars who write from varied
>disciplinary perspectives. In addition, other scholarly voices enter
>into a Bakhtinian dialogue with these scholars about their ideas.
>These 'other voices' help our readers push the boundaries of current
>thinking on Bakhtinian theory and make this book a model of
>heteroglossia and dialogic intertexuality.
>
