Vernacular Literacy: A Re-Evaluation

By Andrée Tabouret-Keller and Le Page Tabouret-Keller

Book Overview

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.
