Product Updates
Urgent new readings of conceptual and experiential power that demand careful consideration. The eleven new selections range from the intimately personal to the conceptual and global. Authors include Jeff Chang, Jeannine Capo Crucet, Roxane Gay, Aubrey Hirsch, June Jordan, Scaachi Koul, Layli Long Soldier, Jenny Price, Claudia Rankine, Solmaz Sharif, Anna Tsing.
- Anthropology professor Anna Tsing, in “The Mushroom at the End of the World,” charts the commodity chain of the matsutake mushroom to reveal insights for renewal in an age of late capitalism.
- Writer and journalist Scaachi Koul, in “Hunting Season,” describes experiences at the intersection between rape culture and surveillance and reflects on their implications.
- Poet Layli Long Soldier, in “38,” juxtaposes the language of treaties between the US government and indigenous American tribes with historical and current indigenous experiences to craft a response to a congressional resolution of apology to Native Americans.
Three new assignment sequences, “Listening In Our Present,” “Examinations of Race and Racism,” and “Beyond the Essay,” push students to consider the form, content, and implications of their writing. These sequences are designed to guide students through the process of thinking about not just the ideas they’ve read about, but how these ideas connect to their broader contexts: Why does one writer choose to write an essay while another chooses a poem? hat is the reciprocal relationship between the past and the present? How can we apply these readings to the urgent problems of our time?
Selections that go beyond the traditional essay reflect today’s diverse world of writing. From poetry by award winning poets like Claudia Rankine to a Roxane Gay listicle, the twelfth edition of Ways of Reading helps students build rhetorical awareness by providing an expansive idea of how to connect with audiences and communicate ideas through a variety of forms.
An expanded idea of difficulty that invites students to approach it from many perspectives. This approach helps students conceive of themselves as generative intellectuals, as writers who have the agency and ability to intervene in the conversations that construct our world. This edition brings in voices to lead students to think more deeply the critical questions that have been at the heart of Ways of Reading since its first edition — questions of being, questions of power, questions of education, questions of interpretation and composition.

Empower students by making the classroom a place of intellectual exploration
Reading and writing is difficult, messy work. Ways of Reading embraces this challenge by inviting students into the process and treating them with respect. Based on the concept that texts should be considered in relation to each other, Ways of Reading fosters academic habits of mind as it carefully walks students through analyzing and writing about complicated ideas. With deeply thought-provoking readings from writers like Ta-Nehisi Coates, Judith Butler, and Anna Tsing, combined with a supporting structure of sequenced questions for rereading, discussion, and writing, Ways of Reading empowers students to engage with complex material and difficult concepts.
A robust introduction to critical reading, coverage of writing beyond the traditional essay, and assignment sequences all help instructors make the classroom a place of intellectual exploration. This is a book that asks instructors and students to do more — to approach difficulty as multi-dimensional, in conceptual, historical, narrative, and practical aspects. And especially in this edition, with new readings on topics such as white rage, ethical relationships, and sexual violence, this work pays off, preparing students to address (as community members, citizens, and future leaders) the urgent problems that cannot be ignored, and that soon will be theirs alone to solve.
