The Making of Literate Societies (0631227431) cover image


  • Charts the relations between personal literacy and 'societal' literacy

  • Uses case studies from 'literate' and developing societies to look at the role of literacy in social development

  • Leads to the formulation of a statement of policy as to the directions that governments and other agencies should take in designing literacy programmes.

  • The compilation is driven by the vision that literacy allows every society to understand itself and therefore shape its own future
