Poverty and the inequalities associated with poverty have existed
for centuries. The topic has experienced a revival of interest
since recent "Make Poverty History Campaigns" have brought the
stark realities of world inequalities to the fore. However, public
policy documents rarely highlight the contribution that adult
education can make towards poverty reduction. This omission perhaps
reflects, in part, a lack of understanding of the nature of adult
education as a tool for development. This book attempts to plug
some of those omissions in understanding for policy makers,
practitioners and researchers alike. Beginning with a conceptual
analysis of poverty and its relationship to adult education,
subsequent chapters offer a variety of international perspectives
on issues related to adult education policy, research and practice
for poverty reduction. They address one or more cross cutting
themes of empowerment/consciousness raising, targeted community
participation, sustainability, gender inequalities, social capital,
multi-sectoral approaches, and context-based literacies education.
These themes all share a common commitment to holistic, pro-poor
interpretations of poverty. Some chapters highlight concerns and
issues, others demonstrate what can be done if the commitment and
political will to make a difference are present. A concluding
chapter looks at future research agendas and possibilities.
