THE BEST OF THE INDEPENDENT RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION JOURNALS 2012 represents the result of a nationwide conversation-beginning with journal editors, but expanding to teachers, scholars and workers across the discipline of Rhetoric and Composition-to select essays that showcase the innovative and transformative work now being published in the field's independent journals. Representing both print and digital journals in the field, the essays featured here explore issues ranging from classroom practice to writing in global and digital contexts, from writing workshops to community activism. Together, the essays provide readers with a rich understanding of the present and future direction of the field.

Roderick (COMPOSITION FORUM), Kate Pantelides and Mariaelena Bartesaghi (COMPOSITION STUDIES), Heidi A.
