Synopsis:

CROSSCURRENTS: CULTURES, COMMUNITIES, TECHNOLOGIES is a combined print and online text/webtext designed to provide readings and activities that allow students not only to critically examine mass culture and the media that circulates it but also to engage rhetorically with electronic communication, presentation, and web-authoring and digital imaging technologies. CROSSCURRENTS is available as a full-color printed text and as an electronic text with additional links to YouTube and websites chosen by the authors to extend the conversation and learning experience. CROSSCURRENTS represents the first in a new generation of texts that doesn't make instructors choose between teaching traditional rhetorical concerns and helping students develop as writers and readers of electronic media.

Review: "CrossCurrents is a bold textbook that seeks to take a fresh approach to the instruction of writing and critical thinking by integrating a wide range of informational modes--from blogs, to traditional articles, to online videos, to images. In doing so, it is the first textbook I have encountered in the last two years that can provide 21st century students with the sort of diverse "information literacy" they will be required to master to function effectively in today's world."

"I am getting tired of fighting the battle against electronic media. Using CrossCurrents would help me form a positive alliance with what students now view as necessary social as well as academic utilities."
