| Abstract | "Judith Pearl Summerfield's career in higher education is unparalleled. Her writing, teaching, teacher research, and university-wide program development have been honored by major local, state, and national organizations, including being named New York State Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation. The author or editor of ten books, and dozens of scholarly chapters and articles, she also writes fiction and poetry, and keeps a daily journal. Compositions, A Life: An Autoethnography is a story of Summerfield's life and career, and, simultaneously, a self-conscious example of how to tell such stories. Told by a master storyteller, who is also a scholar of narrative, and a compelling teacher of writing and literature, the book embraces a meta-textual approach. Summerfield focuses on ethnographic elements of language, family, culture, and history, beginning with her childhood in a coal mining town in southwestern Pennsylvania with a story-telling father who survived the Russian Revolution in Ukraine, and a mother who insisted she learn proper English usage. She chronicles her education during the feminist, Civil Rights, and cultural revolutions of the last century, and critically self-examines her 40 years of teaching and leadership at The City University of New York (1972-2015). The book is a tour de force mix of illustrative writing styles, designed as models for learning and teaching composition/rhetoric, literature, and critical or aesthetic reading. The book includes twenty-five writing prompts, and twenty-plus images to engage reader response, and can be used in introductory writing courses, graduate and professional programs, and in community writing groups"--Provided by publisher. |
