For the book review assignment, I chose Suresh Canagarajah's 2002 text Critical Academic Writing and Multilingual Students, part of the Michigan Series on Teaching Multilingual Writers (as is the Casanave text we use in class).
I have not started intensely reading this book yet, as I've been focusing on the readings I need to complete to gain better background of my paper topic. When choosing this book, I had hoped that it might serve as a resource for my topic (which has developed into the acceptability/nonacceptability of nonstandard varieties of English in academic writing), but from what I've flipped through, picked out, and skimmed, it will not directly inform my paper.
