Epilogue

Abstract

When I was first introduced to the idea of a companion book to Democracy and Its Discontents, my first reaction was, “Of course, that makes perfect sense.” While that volume traces the interaction between literacy and democracy, it represents particular perspectives drawn from our own experience and the experiences of renowned scholars and their engagement with critical literacy. Upon completing this earlier volume, we are left with some important viewpoints as to how those people, represented in that book, have come to view democracy in relation to critical literacy.
