Mestiz@ scripts, digital migrations and the territories of writing
Baca, Damiâan,1975-

Mestiz@ scripts, digital migrations and the territories of writing[electronic resource] /Damiâan Baca ; foreword by Linda Martâin Alcoff. - 1st ed. - New York, N.Y. :Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - xxiv, 210 p. - New concepts in Latino American cultures.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [195]-204) and index.

Mestiz@ scripts and the rhetoric of subversion -- New consciousness/ancient myths -- Mestiz@ : a brief history, from Mexicatl to Chican@ --Codex scripts of resistance : from Columbus to the border patrol -- The spreading of color : sacred scripts and the genesis of the Rio Grande-- Crossing borders : Gloria Anzaldâua and the territories of English composition -- Thinking and teaching acrossborders and hemispheres.

Conventional scholarship on written communication positions the Western alphabet as a precondition for literacy. Thus, pictographic, non-verbal writing practices of Mesoamerica remain obscured by representations of lettered speech. This book examines how contemporary Mestiz@ scripts challengealphabetic dominance, thereby undermining the colonized territories of "writing." Strategic weavingsof Aztec and European inscription systems not only promote historically-grounded accounts of how recorded information is expressed across cultures, but also speak to emerging studies on "visual/multimodal" education. Baca-Espinosa argues that Mestiz@ literacies advance "new" ways of reading and writing, applicable to diverse classrooms of the twenty-first century.
