About the book

Aliteracy

This provocative and prescient collection tackles the alarming rise of aliteracy in America, where editor Nick Thimmesch gathers leading voices to examine declining language skills, shrinking newspaper readership, simplified textbooks, and the omnipresence of television and visual media, weighing whether these trends signal the unraveling of civic and literary culture or coexist with a thriving book and magazine industry, making this a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of literacy, public education, and democratic life in an increasingly electronic age. 


Aliteracy: People Who Can Read but Won't, edited by Nick Thimmesch, addresses one of the critical issues of this decade. The decline of language skills in successive generations of high school students, the simplification of college textbooks, a diminished newspaper readership, the omnipresence of television-what effects will these have on our democratic way of life? Some see these trends as the loosened threads that will finally unravel the fabric of our society and move us closer to a world in which power will reside with a literate elite. Others point to contrary evidence-the near-eradication of illiteracy from the United States, a thriving magazine industry, the flood of new books, and an increased use of public libraries.
