What makes this book unique? Its simplicity and erudition, enabling readers to gain basic understandings of the power of literacy, while familiarizing them with an impressive array of multilingual contexts both globally and locally. Spanning literacy in multilingual families, communities and schools, the book blends the scholarship on literacy, multilingualism and multiliteracies, providing fresh perspectives of how to empower children, teachers, parents and communities in multilingual contexts., This volume offers a comprehensive, accessible overview of bilingualism, biliteracy, and language education around the world with attention to the broad sweep and the defining details. Edwards skillfully joins research summary with case studies--stories that demonstrate the wide range of meanings and practices associated with reading, drawn from her own experience and scholarly pursuits. The book neither dwells on nor ignores the various 'wars' and disagreements in the field but rather sketches the contexts in which they arose, their theoretical bases, and implications for instruction. The book is well-suited for use as a textbook, with its list of key points at the end of each chapter and carefully chosen resources. But it also serves as a nicely readable overview for those who need an update.
