Beyond Citizenship focuses on the role of literacy in building a
modern nation-state by examining the government provision of adult
literacy training in early twentieth-century China. Based on
untapped archives and diaries, Di Luo uncovers people's strategic
use of literacy and illiteracy in social interactions and explores
the impact of daily experiences on the expansion of state power.
Highlighting interpersonal and intergroup relations, Beyond
Citizenship suggests a new methodology of studying literacy which
foregrounds the agentive role of historical actors and so moves
away from a more traditional approach that treats literacy itself
as the key factor enabling social change.
