Book Synopsis
Grabill (English, Georgia St. U.) has an interest in institutional systems and how they give meaning and value to specific practices and not to others. In this analysis of community literacy programs, Grabill focuses on the case of one institution, Western District Adult Basic Education, to explore a number of issues: what literacy is, who makes decisions about literacy and in whose interest, and how a program can be designed collaboratively to be meaningful to those most affected by it. For researchers and teachers in the field of literacy.
