Janks (applied English language studies, U. of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa) has written a guide to the theory and practice of critical literacy, using test cases from her own work for illustration. Theory is the overriding theme. Janks describes the philosophies of Paolo Freire and Foucault then discusses at length the impact of their approaches on literacy studies with a special focus on her work in South Africa. The definition of literacy itself is a central motif, as Janks demonstrates the social impact of critical literacy to visual as well as all kinds of written texts, and the power critical literacy can give to the reader.
