The title of multiple literacies implies that literacy is not one thing and that is changes over time. This volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of literacy as a multi-faceted, complexly situated activity. Contributing authors represent a wide variety of theoretical and research perspectives. Each chapter provides the reader with a fresh perspective into a different site for literate behavior and relationships. The book celebrates and critiques literacy in various forms, accentuating its diverse and human character. At the start of the 21st century it is important to take stock of what literacy can and has become. Freeing literacy from specific site or set of practices allows us to see it as generative--as a way to consider the experiences, memories and histories ofthose who use literacy to make meaning in their lives.
