"Literacy is valuable - and volatile - property. And like other commodities with public and private value, it is grounds for potential exploitation, injustice, and struggle as well as potential hope, satisfaction, and reward. Wherever literacy is learned and practiced, these competing interests will always be present."
An academic text that studies how literacy has been acquired, sponsored, and transformed in #America.
