Community: A Reader for Writers

Nancy Enright's <em>Community: A Reader for Writers</em> explores the theme of writing as community through a variety of readings organized around the communities out of which they arose. The selections-spanning from familial and cultural to economic and artistic-all attest to the text's underlying message that writing, when seen as an act of community, becomes essentially a dialogue, linking the writer with others who have written in the past and will write in the future.<br><br>Developed for courses in first-year writing, <em>Community: A Reader for Writers</em> includes an interdisciplinary mix of public, academic, and cultural reading selections. It provides students with the rhetorical knowledge and analytical strategies required to participate effectively in discussions about community. <br><br><em>Community: A Reader for Writers</em> is part of a series of brief, single-topic readers from Oxford University Press designed for today's college writing courses. Each reader in this series approaches a topic of contemporary conversation from multiple perspectives.<br>
