Mutnick (English, Long Island U.) places basic writing in historical context and theorizes how its low status overlaps with other social, geographic, and political margins. She also suggests how the conception of education as inevitably hierarchical might be reconstrued as a more fluid, democratic process. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
