Beschreibungen
<p><span>In </span><span>Literacy Experiences of Formerly Incarcerated Women: Sentences and Sponsors</span><span>, Melanie N. Burdick uses narrative research to elucidate the literacy experiences of formerly incarcerated women and how literacy has affected their lives, both while incarcerated and while transitioning back into society. Using Deborah Brandt’s theory of literacy sponsorship (1998), Burdick explores both the mass incarceration of women and their access to literacy as feminist and social justice issues. While reading and writing in prison is often romanticized through caricatures of incarcerated people who become enlightened and reformed, Burdick targets these romanticized views and criticizes their controlling and harmful effects. This book shines a light on the personal and political ramifications of literacy experiences in women’s lives as they grow up in families and schools, move through the prison system, and transition back into society and higher education, arguing that literacy is politically situated and that transitioning out of prison is a complex process marked by literate acts that are dependent upon constructive literacy sponsorship. </span></p>

<p><span>This book depicts results from narrative research involving four formerly incarcerated women and how they used literacy experiences to reconfigure their identities, overcome stigma, and gain control over their lives. The author discusses issues including literacy and motherhood, prison libraries, and transitions from prison to college classrooms.</span></p>
