Introduction: Appropriating and Creating Space for Difference in Literacy Research

Abstract

Have you ever hurt about baskets? I have, seeing my grandmother weaving for a long time. Have you ever hurt about work? I have, because my father works too hard and tells how he works. Have you ever hurt about cattle? I have, because my grandfather has been working on the cattle for a long time. Have you ever hurt about school? I have, because I have learned a lot of words from my school, And they are not my words. © 1998, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
