Round My Way

‘Round My Way centers around the journal writing of three inner-city youth and shares their daily struggles to speak within and across social institutions such as school, family, and community.

“[Goldblatt] nudges his readers over the course of the book to see that social contextualizing the student’s work requires teachers to read differently, to define meaningful writing differently, and to construct at least some writing assignments that draw on the students’ institutional strengths outside of the school environment.”
–Richard E. Miller
