Using Literacy Strategies to Enhance Social Studies Education in Elementary Classrooms
At its best, social studies instruction, especially at the elementary level, prepares students to be active members of civic life-critical thinkers, advocates, and change makers. Using Literacy Strategies to Enhance Social Studies Education in Elementary Classrooms aims to showcase not only social studies instruction at its best, but also, through classroom examples, the kinds of planning and instruction that facilitate building and using their literacy skills and processes in the service of social studies learning and action. Reading, writing, speaking, listening, creating, and viewing are powerful tools to engage students in meaningful social studies. This book is written for elementary teacher educators and pre-service and in-service teachers to encourage and illustrate intentional integration of literacy skills for deeper and meaningful social studies instruction, particularly instruction that is rigorous and inquiry-driven. Each chapter of this book aligns with one or more of these basic literacy processes and includes examples of research-based pedagogy at two different elementary grade bands, concrete suggestions for instructional approaches for supporting students at varied levels of independence, and tools to support implementation.

Re/Marks on Power
An interdisciplinary exploration of annotation that shows how this participatory act marks public memory, struggles for justice, and social change. Annotation--the seemingly simple act of marking a text--is often diminished as a marginal practice. It is prohibited in physical objects and considered irrelevant to social and political concerns. But what if annotation were reimagined as a critical and civic literacy that can inscribe public memory, struggles for justice, and social change? In Re/Marks on Power, education researcher Remi Kalir argues that enduring traces of annotation can be read and (re)written to advance counternarratives and more just social futures. Kalir's interdisciplinary approach examines annotation in archives and libraries, on walls and in books, atop maps and monuments, and along byways and all manner of margins to describe the relevance of "re/marks." With a series of vivid and wide-ranging cases, Kalir describes how groups of annotators make public re/marks of resistance and creativity, often with simple tools and accessible methods. These annotations alter familiar texts, oppose hateful ideology, and broadcast solidarity and social activism. Among the book's fresh reads of annotation are considerations of how Harriet Tubman's legacy is remembered and honored, how the US-Mexico border was defined and is restoried, how problematic public monuments are contested and reimagined, and how books featuring LGBTQIA+ topics are classified, censored, and celebrated. Re/Marks on Power honors the actions of annotators, whether eminent or anonymous, and highlights how material traces have mediated justice-oriented possibility. Throughout this book, the author makes visible a new social language of annotation that can be read across time and texts.
Social Class, Language and Communication

Quantification in Linguistics and Text Analysis
This volume contains the most important theoretical and methodological works of Gabriel Altmann (1931-2019). He is the founder of a specific school of quantitative linguistics, which focuses on the statistical analysis and interrelationship of linguistic features and characteristics. His approach concentrates on the construction of a general theory of linguistics. The theory is based on the relevance of linguistic laws (Zipf's, Menzerath's and Piotrowski's) and concepts of language as a self-regulating system. In contrast to approaches where quantitative methods are used as standard methodological tools, Altmann favours a "holistic" and epistemological view of problems of quantification of linguistic and textual phenomena.
Empanadas, Pupusas, and Greens on the Side
A new framework for understanding how language and identity intersect in ever-evolving AmericaIn the 1980s, Washington, DC-a predominantly African American, racially and economically segregated city with a strong local Black culture--became a hub of Latin American immigration. As the city's communities interacted, an identity both unique to DC and reflective of diverse Latin American cultures was born.Empanadas, Pupusas, and Greens on the Side is the first linguistics book to explore how the Latinx community forged a new sense of home and identity in Washington. Using original ethnographic research--including interviews, narratives, and surveys--Tseng develops a new framework for understanding the relationship between race, identity, language, and culture, and she explains what happens when communities interact.Readers interested in the cultural history of Washington, Latinx history, and language and society will enjoy this rich study of language as a cross-cultural current in ever-evolving America.

Intercultural Communication
Combining perspectives from discourse analysis and sociolinguistics, the third edition of this popular textbook provides students with an up-to-date overview of the field of intercultural communication.

The second, informed by multilingualism studies, highlights the use and prestige of different languages and language varieties as well as the varying access that speakers have to them.
Take It from Me
From the literary agent behind some of today's most successful authors comes a narrative guide geared specifically to the needs of aspiring and working nonfiction writers, demystifying the world of publishing and offering a practical roadmap to getting your book published. "An invaluable resource."--Clint Smith, author of How the Word is Passed "I really, really wish I had this book when I was starting out."--Robert Kolker, author of Hidden Valley Road Alia Hanna Habib remembers what it was like to be on the outside of the publishing world, looking in. Arriving in New York, a first-generation college student with a love of reading and loads of ambition, she had no idea how to break into the business of books. Now, years later, in her career as an agent, she hears from prospective clients who, whether they're experts at the top of their fields or wholly new to the writing game, consider finding success in publishing to be a mysterious and daunting endeavor. Ever determined to flout the stereotype of agent as gatekeeper, however, Habib is prepared to hand emerging writers the key. Drawing on wisdom from her star-studded list of clients, including Hanif Abdurraqib, Judy Batalion, Merve Emre, Nikole Hannah-Jones, and Clint Smith, Habib provides context and clarity to each step of the publishing process, from the germination of a book idea to finding an agent to represent it, from crafting an engaging proposal to navigating the perils of publicity. Readers will find real-life samples of her authors' pitch letters and book proposals, as well as templates writers can use when querying agents or promoting their work on social media. She also incorporates the advice of trusted industry colleagues--attorneys, accountants, editors, publishers, publicists, and more--gifting readers with a full team of experts to answer all the questions they've had about the publishing world, but were too afraid, or didn't know, to ask. Essential for both the aspiring novice and the seasoned professional, Take It from Me is a guidebook writers will return to again and again. At times laugh-out-loud funny, at others brutally honest about her own experiences in publishing and in life, Habib offers a clear-eyed look at the challenges facing today's aspiring nonfiction writers and then gives them the comprehensive, expert guidance they need to put those roadblocks in the rearview mirror.
