Abstract

This chapter presents a brief and broad literature review on the history of critical literacy through several theoretical frameworks. The chapter begins with the origins of critical literacy. The origins of critical literacy have been found to have been shaped by early civilizations and groups of people. After an explanation of these origins, various theoretical frameworks of critical literacy, power, language, identity, and multimodality are discussed. Critical literacy involves the combination of these frameworks, which are represented through each other.
