Product description

In Forged by Reading, Beers and Probst
reflect on the role of reading in a democratic society. It is a book
that helps us to understand why creating independent readers
and writers is critical to the health of our world.

Beers and Probst argue that reading and writing are the tools
of literacy. This is critical because the history of literacy has
largely been about the suppression of that power and privilege.

Written in 2020 against
the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the death of George Floyd
and the ensuing emergence of the anti-racism protests, this is
a book about literacy and the opportunity for change it offers
to our society. This book examines the inequalities of our world
through the lens of literacy.
