About this title

Synopsis

Out of the various reform movements of the 1960s, says Borkowski (English, William Paterson U., New Jersey), expressivism emerged, and writing instruction in the US is the better for it. In particular, he believes that the US is a more just and open society than before the 1960s, and shows how writing teachers now have a much more diverse, democratic, and nuanced tool kit to carry with them to work.
