For teachers and teacher educators, MacGillivray (literacy, U. of Memphis) brings together nine studies that examine the importance of literacy in times of crisis, including natural disasters, cultural and community disjuncture, homelessness, family upheaval, teen pregnancy, and disability. Education and reading scholars from the US consider how literacy affects the way families, schools, and communities respond to crisis, and how it plays different roles in facilitating communication, maintaining connection, expressing grief, shaping memories, providing information, and other areas. They also address literacy practices that ease the impact of crisis, and the role of community and school practices. Studies examine the role of blogs and emails after Hurricane Katrina, Yemeni refugee women forced to chose between marriage and learning English, dialogue journals between parents and children during divorce, the use of blogs and anime by a teen whose father was incarcerated, and other subjects. A group of teachers conclude with commentary discussing applications to their fields. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
