Hard-won joy
Schools, community organizations, and major cultural entities can address educational inequities by engaging parents and children in arts processes, projects, and performances. Three cases featuring work in the arts show promise in contributing to the positive academic and social development of learners across the socio-economic spectrum. Â Learning science principles stand behind the practice of shifting roles, a practice that research shows to …

So What's It About? Your Book, I Mean?”
While doubts surround relations between adolescents and books, Heath argues that today's adolescents seek out reading opportunities that develop and deepen their special interests. Wanting to know and do more than their parents, young people prize learning on their own time to advance skills, ways of knowing, and peer relationships. Doing so, they want to take every advantage that technologies give them. In doing so, they have to interpret numero…
New Love, Long Love
Heath takes readers back to Hymes's years as Dean of the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education. She recalls, in particular, his relentless passion for introducing public school administrators to ethnography's potential for seeing what could be done to increase equity and social justice within public education. She contrasts this "new love" that Hymes developed at the School of Education with his "long love" of North American Ind…

Three’s Not a Crowd
Colleges and universities, as well as employers, attend to the “extras”—the extracurricular that take place outside and beyond grades and jobs. Final admission judgments and job interview questions often center on the sports, artistic, or service dimensions that individuals include in their applications or resumes. Parents, politicians, and educators know and unquestioningly accept the nonstandard and unquantifiable nature of the social benefits …

Rethinking Youth Transitions
Working through Language
Poetry speaks rarely of older children. In contrast to their younger counterparts, youth attract little attention except when adults express frustration when they fail to understand the differences they see between the child that was and the preteen or teen that now is. The older child’s gyrations between likes and dislikes, inaction and constant motion, noise and silence, silliness and wisdom strike adults as inex plicable. Overheard language an…

Re-Creating Literature in the ESL Classroom
One section of my bookshelves devoted to literature is crammed with writings by ESL students. Their tales of travel, new friends and foods, family adaptation, remembered heroes, and moments of loss and regret fill the pages of these newsletters, journals, classroom booklets, and even a few commercially published volumes. Elementary and high schools, adult programs, and literacy projects, as well as youth organizations and summer camps, produce th…

The project of learning from the inner-city youth perspective
Inner-city, at-risk adolescents prefer organizations that provide a range of program choices, offer youth-driven activities, and permit high levels of activity and enjoyment
Guided Participation in Cultural Activity by Toddlers and Caregivers
In this Monograph, we examine how toddlers and their caregivers from four cultural communities collaborate in shared activities. We focus both on similarities across communities in processes of guided participation--structuring children's participation and bridging between their understanding and that of their caregivers--and on differences in how guided participation occurs. We examine the idea that a key cultural difference entails who is respo…
Inner City Life through Drama
Both language learning theorists and practitioners of teaching English as a second language or dialect have argued that role playing moves language learners beyond their usual performance in ordinary classroom presentations. This paper tells the story of how inner city youth organizations use dramas that young people write, cast, and direct to enable them to retain their first language or dialect while gaining standard English and preparing for j…
The Braid of Literature
As parent, reading partner, and social science observer, Shelby Wolf documented countless moments during the preschool and early grade-school years of her two daughters. The Braid of Literature interweaves her careful observations and analysis with Shirley Brice Heath's insightful commentary, drawing on current research in anthropology, linguistics, and cognitive psychology. Together, they have produced an unusual study of two young children who …

Ways of taking" from books are a part of culture and as such are more varied than current dichotomies between oral and literate traditions and relational and analytic cognitive styles would suggest. Patterns of language use related to books are studied in three literate communities in the Southeastern United States, focusing on such "literacy events" as bedtime story reading. One community, Maintown, represents mainstream, middle-class school-ori…
Ways with Words
Ways with Words, first published in 1983, is a classic study of children learning to use language at home and at school in two communities only a few miles apart in the south-eastern United States. 'Roadville' is a white working-class community of families steeped for generations in the life of textile mills; 'Trackton' is an African-American working-class community whose older generations grew up farming the land, but whose existent members work…
