Toward an anti-capitalist composition by James Rushing DanielPublication Date: 2022
In Toward an Anti-Capitalist Composition, James Rushing Daniel argues that capitalism is eminently responsible for the entangled catastrophes of the twenty-first century--precarity, economic and racial inequality, the decline of democratic culture, and climate change--and that it must accordingly become a central focus in the teaching of writing. Delving into pedagogy, research, and institutional work, he calls for an ambitious reimagining of composition as a discipline opposed to capitalism's excesses.
