A collection of original pieces written by recognised scholars in
literary studies from around the world. Some of the pieces report
data on access to literacy competence for various sub-national
minority groups, some focus on the historical role of literacy in
the maintenance or suppression of marginal groups, and some pay
close attention to important policy, public, or media accounts of
literacy. What gives this collection cohension is a perception of
literacy education among the authors as a potent ally in programmes
of both freedom and oppression, and the commitment to present ways
of viewing the working of these macro-political agenda in the
details of policy and practice.

This book debunks the argument that quality in education can only be achieved by limiting, or trading off, equality. The quality of schooling is a major issue for Third World nations across the globe. However there is no single measure which is universally accepted. Whether it is, as some economists might argue, an issue of the number of desks per classroom or one of national sovereignty is widely disputed. Defining equality in education becomes increasingly difficult in an era of globalization in which there exists a wide gap between rich and poor, both within and between nations. In the context of an international move towards New Right politics and neo-liberal economic ideologies, both the quality and equality of education are imperiled. This book argues that any worthy definition of quality education must include the interests and participation of the underprivileged. eBook available with sample pages: 0203905083
