Abstract
In this literacy narrative, I describe the contexts and consequences of print and digital literacies in a globalizing world. Through a combination of personal and contextual details, I show how cultural, linguistic, and political milieus shape and are shaped by the literate practices in the digital environment. I also complicate issues of access and the digital divide and conclude by making a case for understanding cultural background vis-à-vis political history in order to understand individual literacy practices of students/writers.
