Reviews
The new edition of Donald Lazere's Reading and Writing for Civic Literacy improves an already excellent book. It is now of manageable size without sacrifice of the parts that make it an essential addition to the field of texts aimed at the improvement of critical thinking. In my current work of revising a course on the culture wars for inclusion in Hunter College's General Education Requirement, Lazere's book greatly appeals because it addresses the theme of civic literacy from a critical analysis perspective--two main themes of the course. The book is suitable for Philosophy courses as well as an English curriculum. I recommend it to anyone who wants to raise the level of critical thinking of our students by immersing them in our current forms of life., eoeThe new edition of Donald Lazeree(tm)s Reading and Writing for Civic Literacy improves an already excellent book.

Here is an intelligent rhetoric text that honestly faces the politics of our times. Writing teachers will benefit from the tools Lazere provides, and students will benefit by becoming better writers and more informed readers of their society." --Ira Shor, Professor of Education, CUNY Graduate Center "Lazere has given us a thoughtful, beautifully organized, and eminently user-friendly book that enables teachers to [give] their students a way in to some of the most important and contentious public controversies of our time." --Gerald Graff, Professor of English and Education, University of Illinois at Chicago "Give this to every student, adult, and citizen who believes that learning, writing, and democracy mutually inform each other." --Henry A. Giroux, Global Television Network Chair, Communication and English, McMaster University "I plan to use the brief edition of Reading and Writing for Civic Literacy when I teach writing next summer. It is a good size and manages to retain so much of what I love about the earlier edition. By the way, I love the section on political semantics--it should be required reading for all. Thanks for putting back real political thought into the writing classroom." --Linda Ferreira-Buckley, Chair of the Rhetoric Department at University of Texas, Austin

Edition Description
New Edition
Synopsis
Designed for composition and critical thinking courses, this book helps students understand the ideological positions and rhetorical patterns, and develop critical reading, writing, and thinking skills in civic rhetoric., This brief edition of a groundbreaking textbook addresses the need for college students to develop critical reading, writing, and thinking skills for self-defense in the contentious arena of American civic rhetoric. Designed for first-year or more advanced composition and critical thinking courses, it is one-third shorter than the original edition, more affordable for students, and easier for teachers to cover in a semester or quarter. It incorporates up-to-date new readings and analysis of controversies like the growing inequality of wealth in America and the debates in the 2008 presidential campaign, expressed in opposing viewpoints from the political left and right. Exercises help students understand the ideological positions and rhetorical patterns that underlie such opposing views. Widely debated issues of whether objectivity is possible and whether there is a liberal or conservative bias in news and entertainment media, as well as in education itself, are foregrounded as topics for rhetorical analysis.
