Summary:
"Based on a mixed-methods study of students' writing in a first-year writing course themed around race and shows college student writing that directly confronts lived experiences of segregation-and, increasingly, of re-segregation. This textual ethnography embeds students' writing in deep historical and theoretical contexts" -- Provided by publisher.
