Description: "This narrative captures the relationship between the Chilean state, formal and nonformal literacy, and popular education from the demise of liberal capitalism to the consolidation of neoliberalism. This remarkable investigation of the dynamic link between the historical process, literacy, and pedagogy celebrates popular education's victory in securing the inclusion and subsequent empowerment of women and ethnic minorities. The State, Literacy, and Popular Education in Chile, 1964-1990 will be of great interest to political scientists, cultural historians, and education scholars."--BOOK JACKET.
