I am currently reading Aviva Freedman's and Peter Medway's new book, Genre and the New Rhetoric, and there is was announced in the latest Inkshed (Volume 14, Number 1, September 1995). Along with an invitation to announce other new books. Our book is not exactly new, being published in 1994, but it's close enough. I hope it is of interest to quite of few Inkshedders who teach courses (senior undergraduate and graduate) in language arts education.
