description: This book contains first-hand information on the history, economics, and politics surrounding literacy issues all over the world. Discussions are supported by case-studies of campaigns to promote vernacular languages, and examples of how people relate to their languages in different cultures.Providing a non-Western perspective, the contributors question traditional notions of the uses of literacy.
