Trade Review
"Everyone, these days, seems to be an advocate of more and better schools in order to create a more literate workforce. Watkins effectively demonstrates that's simply not enough-not if we think seriously about literacies and the role they play in reproducing the kinds of economic and social inequalities that have emerged over the course of the past three decades." -- -David Ruccio Professor of Economics, University of Notre Dame
