Discoursing Basic Writing.

Horner, Bruce

College Composition and Communication, v47 n2 p199-222 May 1996

Explores how insights of the 1970s are being lost, namely, those about why and how the academy thinks about basic writing and students deemed "illiterate" or "remedial." Examines a discourse that the author calls Basic Writing and how it has marginalized basic writing courses, teachers, and students. (TB)
