Literacy as a matter of policy and power
This collection examines literacy beyond its role as a technical educational skill, bringing together international and cross-disciplinary studies of how literacy policies and practices intersect with social divisions. Historical case studies consider literacy’s role in maintaining or suppressing marginalized groups, while reports on access to literacy competence among sub-national minorities add an empirical dimension. The contributors also attend to educational, policy, popular, and media accounts of literacy, set against the social, political, and economic conditions of different communities and nation-states. Together, these perspectives frame literacy as a subject shaped by culture and politics, not simply as a neutral benefit.
