Symbols, Literacy and Social Justice

A new internationally focused book about symbols and literacy.

Review from education.guardian.co.uk

Symbols, Literacy and Social Justice looks at the role of symbols in supporting access to literacy, learning and information. It argues that such access is essential to social justice.

The book is in two parts. The first part, Symbols in use: supporting literacy and social justice is a set of 26 case studies from around the world, identified with the help of ISAAC. The second part, Understanding symbol literacy practices: towards social inclusion, draws together the issues that are raised in the case studies.
