Basic Writing in the 21st Century is a comprehensive, cutting-edge survey of basic writing, developmental writing, and literacy studies. Edited by two noted scholars in the field, this book provides a much-needed student and teacher reference guide that is sure to be consulted for many years to come. This is a collection of original essays written by a range of scholars—from those just beginning their careers to the most well-known, established scholars in our field. Representing far more varied cultural and ethnic perspectives than any previous anthologies about these subject matters, Basic Writing in the 21st Century delves into critical issues such as the following: histories, legacies and critical perspectives; emerging issues (including translingualism, transculturalism, multiliteracies, multilingualism, disability issues, remote teaching, directed self-placement, and mainstreaming); learners and intersectionality (including the needs of adult student learners, concerns related to race and antiracism, ethnicity and class status, as well as gender issues involving queer and LGBTQ+ concerns); institutional, administrative, and economic concerns; and real-time personal narratives from key voices in the basic writing field.
