Reading and Writing for Civic Literacy: The Critical Citizen's Guide to Argumentative Rhetoric: Brief Edition for a New Political Era (Cultural Politics and the Promise of Democracy)
“The new edition of Donald Lazere’s Reading and Writing for Civic Literacy improves an already excellent book.  It is now of manageable size without sacrifice of the parts that make it an essential addition to the field of texts aimed at the improvement of critical thinking. In my current work of revising a course on the culture wars for inclusion in Hunter College’s General Education Requirement, Lazere’s book greatly appeals because it addresses the theme of civic literacy from a critical analysis perspective—two main themes of the course. The book is suitable for Philosophy courses as well as an English curriculum.  I recommend it to anyone who wants to raise the level of critical thinking of our students by immersing them in our current forms of life.”
