Review Essay: Reviewing Positions

College Composition and Communication Dec 1999

Robert J. Connors

Abstract

At first glance, Assuming the Positions, which is subtitled Cultural Pedagogy and the Politics of Commonplace Writing, looks like a work of archival historical research. This book is not really, however, a work of history or historical research. The purpose of this book is emphatically not to describe the contents of these commonplace texts as they reflected external historical events or indicated large shifts in general lifeways. This book is, instead, a record of one brilliant mind reading historical materials that happen to fall within its gaze.
