ABSTRACT

This afterword uses the French philosopher Michel Foucault’s notion of power to engage with the concept of a digital divide, which is expertly constructed by the chapter authors in Jennifer Rowsell and Ernest Morrell’s edited book, Stories From Inequity to Justice in Literacy Education. Viewed from Foucault’s approach for analyzing relations of power, the chapters speak volumes about how power circulates through varying macro-, meso-, and micro-levels of inequities, only to emerge with a different face when critical issues in justice education surface. This book is alive with possibilities for reconceptualizing a real, but potentially transient, digital divide.
