In this volume, rhetoricians, literacy scholars, and humanists have come together to examine the complex discursive constructions of sustainability. Touching on topics including conservation efforts in specific locales; social and political constructions of rhetorical place and space; community literacy; historical and archival analysis of institutional politics, policies, and practices concerning the environment and economic growth and development; town planning and zoning issues; and rhetorics of environmental remediation and sustainability, this collection of essays provides rhetoricians and environmentalists a window into the complex and often contradictory arena of discourse on sustainability.

This book explores the following key questions: What is literacy? What do we mean when we profess literacy? How can we create a theoretical map of writing studies in which to locate the ways we define and situate our notions and assumptions about literacy? The author addresses these questions by mapping the ideological perspectives on literacy that inform the field's theoretical terrain.
