What We Thought . . .
Hawisher and Selfe set up these essays to "enrich our understanding and enlarge our appreciation of our present place in society" ("Introduction" 11). We applaud how tremendously successful the essays in this collection are in achieving this goal. However, we are not sure we understand Hawisher and Selfe's focus on the goal of expanding "our understanding of how others might see us as English studies teachers, writers, and scholars" (11). The editors do a powerful job with this in their introduction, but we do not see this picked up as a theme in the majority of essays in this collection.
Despite this, we heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in the ways in which technologies affect pedagogies and our sense of self. In our opinion, this collection should be included in the required book list for any course in computers and writing or hypertext rhetoric. Of course, it would be a wonderful addition to the recommended reading list for courses in anything from composition studies and cultural studies to feminist studies and community literacy.
