In Spatializing Social Justice: Literary Critiques Maryann P. DiEdwardo uses seven literary critiques and seven reflections to share her newest research about the healing power of literature. DiEdwardo argues that literacy is the lifelong intellectual process of gaining meaning from a critical interpretation of written or printed text. Literary critiques explore the writers mind for symbolism hidden within the words, and writers of literary critiques listen to their own voices first. In this book, DiEdwardo touches upon different types of writing and writers who aim to explore the healing process through words.Maryann P. DiEdwardo is author of more than fifty books and articles on the international market, recipient of two Professional Achievement Awards at University of Maryland University College and the UMUC Stanley J. Drazek Teaching Excellence Award, and also received the 2018 Professional Achievement Award from College English Association.
