PDF-(BOOS)-Illegal Alphabets and Adult Biliteracy: Latino Migrants Crossing the Linguistic

Illegal Alphabets and Adult Biliteracybased on four years of intensive fieldwork in a small rural community in Southern Illinoisis a landmark work in the area of adult literacy combining insights from linguistics anthropology literacy studies and education in a culturally situated exploration of the language and literacy practices of migrant workers As such it is a substantive contribution to the linguistic study of indigenous literacies to sociocultural approaches to language learning and literacy and to ethnographic and critical approaches to educationThe book begins with a true story about illegal aliens who in the summer of 1980 in the town of Cobden Illinois decided to help each other write down English como de veras se oyethe way it really sounds The focus is on why and how they did this what they actually wrote down and what happened to their texts The narrative then shifts to how and why the strategies adult immigrants actually use in order to cope with English in the real world seem to have little in common with those used by students in publicly funded bilingual and ESL classrooms The book concludes with a discussion of the ideal of a universal alphabet about the utopian claim that anyone can use a canonical set of 26 letters to reduce to script any language ever spoken by anyone anywhere at any time This claim is so familiar that it is easy to overlook how much undocumented intellectual labor was invested over the centuries by those who successfully carried the alphabet across the border from one language to the next From this undocumented labor without which none of us would now be able to read everyone profitsTo make his story and his argument as accessible as possible Kalmar steers clear of jargon and excessive technical terminology At the same time however readers who are familiar with any of the current postmodern discourses on the social construction of symbolic forms will be able to bring such discourses to bear on what he has to say about the game the discourse and the scene of writing that constitute the focus of his theoretical analysisWhen people today argue about illegal aliens in the United States probably the last question on their minds is the one to which this book is devoted how do illegal aliens use an alphabet they already know in order to chart the speech sounds of colloquial English It is the authors hope that readers will interpret his story as a parable with serious political implications Illegal Alphabets and Adult Biliteracy is a compelling vitally relevant book for researchers students practitioners and anyone else interested in language and literacy in social cultural and political contexts including bilingual and ESL education secondlanguage acquisition and development applied and sociolinguistics multicultural education educational anthropology and qualitative research.
