| Abstract | ‘This is a map of the field of critical literacy – drawn with precision and care. Our guide on the journey is a scholar and teacher, political activist and woman warrior of the greatest strength and wisdom.’
Alan Luke, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
‘Hilary Janks argues that to critically change the educational system you need to understand the interrelationship between language and power. Her framework of dominance, diversity, access and design constitutes a complete theory of critical literacy, one that explains the successes and failures of past and current educational movements. Her thinking has helped me and the U.S. and Canadian teachers I work with outgrow our very selves as we plan new, more powerful, and more critical ways to change education.’
Jerome C. Harste, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA
‘Unlike the biblical prophets, Janks is honoured in her own country, South Africa, for her enormous contribution to language and literacy education in complex linguistic and socio-cultural contexts. As a writer, her special gift is to make the complex accessible in ways that move readers to cry, to laugh, and most of all, to begin or to renew a commitment to critical literacy teaching and research.’
Yvonne Reed, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
‘Readers who know Janks’ ground-breaking work with critical language awareness with teachers and learners in South Africa have been waiting for this book. For those who don’t, now at last there’s an opportunity to learn how to make critical discourse analysis a central part of a pedagogical repertoire for critical literacy. Immediately helpful to teachers, teacher educators and researchers who are concerned with literacy and power, this fabulous book provides a review of key theory, original approaches to text analyses, and illuminating accounts from classrooms. It makes you want to teach. This will become the essential guidebook for language and literacy educators and researchers.’
Barbara Comber, University of South Australia
‘Hilary Janks develops an innovative model of critical literacy which makes a major contribution to the field. You will look at texts in new ways after reading this book. It will transform your understanding of how language works, it will give you new insights into language and politics in South Africa, and it will provide a principled basis for rethinking the teaching of language and literacy in your own context.’
Roz Ivaniĉ, Lancaster University, UK
‘Admirers of Janks’ scholarship will welcome Literacy and Power and recognise its qualities of lucidity, argumentative coherence, courage and compassion. With its organisation around four interdependent themes of domination, access, diversity and design, this book is the best introduction to critical literacies around.’
Terry Locke, University of Waikato, New Zealand |

| AbstractList | Hilary Janks addresses key questions about literacy and power in this landmark text that is both engaging and accessible.
Her central argument is that competing orientations to critical literacy education - domination (power), access, diversity, design - foreground one over the other, but are crucially interdependent and need to work together to create possibilities for redesign and social action that serve a social justice agenda. She examines the theory underpinning each orientation, and develops new theory in the argument for interdependence and integration.
Sitting at the interface between theory and practice, constantly moving from one to the other, the text is rich with examples of how to usethese orientations in real teaching contexts, and how to use them to counterbalance one another.
In the groundbreaking final chapter Janks considers how the rationalist underpinning of critical literacy tends to exclude the non-rational shows ways of working 'beyond reason' - pleasure and play, desire and the unconscious - and makes the case that these need to be taken seriously given their power to cut across the work of critical literacy educators working from any orientation.

The Future of Critical Literacy References Index "This book has integrity – in more than one meaning of the word. Hilary Janks sets out to describe and exemplify an integrated model of critical literacy which includes both cognitive skills and social practices but she is herself a writer of proven professional integrity. One of the attractive features of this book – and there are many – is that the author includes the important historical dimension as she outlines the development of critical literacy theory and practice…. Janks’ view of diversity as a productive resource for social and cultural transformation speaks to any of us, wherever we live and work."-- Literacy , the journal of the UK Literacy Association "The book offers a mapping of a sphere for action that is thoughtful, hopeful and profoundly practical."-- Reading & Writing "Janks accomplishes what she intended: step by step, one chapter at a time, she refines her interdependent model of critical literacy and clearly explains it to the readers. Her work in strongly grounded in theories and practice. All readers, from administrators to classroom teachers, from teacher educators to graduate students, will benefit from reading this book."-- Education Review Hilary Janks is a professor in Applied English Language Studies in the School of Education at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. ‘This is a map of the field of critical literacy – drawn with precision and care.
