I read the list and would like to add some titles that I believe are "must 
read"  articles or books, which were not included: 

Rethinking Literacy Education, Quigley (was mentioned but should be 
re-mentioned)

Cultural Diversity and the School Experience, John Ogbu (article)

Transitional Bilingual Education and the Socialization of Immigrants, David 
Spener (article) (anyone working with immigrants and minorities should read 
the above to articles)

Empowering Minority Students, Jim Cummins (artricle) 

Changing Work, Changing Workers, Glynda Hull, Ed (the entire anthology)
(anyone exploring workforce literacy programs needs to read this)

Crossing Cultural Borders Gaytan and Trueba (Book)

Teachers as Intellectuals, Giroux (Book)

Making Meaning  Making  Change, Auerbach  (Book)

Literacy in Theory and Practice, Bian Street (Book) (classic)

Disconnecting Liteacy and Sexuality, Kathleen Rockhill (article) anyone 
working with women shoudl read this

There are other books and articles that I can recommend, but these are some 
that I would recommend more strongly.
