Summary: Annotation Hourigan examines the intersection of culture and literacy education, in particular the roles that class, race, ethnicity, and gender play in students' learning to negotiate the conventions of academic discourse. She argues that recent literary scholarship has tended to isolate class, gender, and culture as discrete, marginalizing factors, but that such isolation may unintentionally silence voices from non- Western, non-mainstream cultures.
