Heritage Literacy: Adoption, Adaptation, and Alienation of Multimodal Literacy Tools

Suzanne Kesler Rumsey

Abstract

This article presents the concept of heritage literacy, a decision-making process by which people adopt, adapt, or alienate themselves from tools and literacies passed on between generations of people. In an auto-ethnographic study, four generations of a single family and Amish participants from the surrounding community were interviewed to explore the concept.
