Robert Austin; Asunción Lavrin sku-287910145 is listed under All Books. The State, Literacy, and Popular Education in Chile, 1964-1990 is a hardcover about competing approaches to literacy in Chile: popular education rooted in nineteenth-century labor struggles and state-led adult literacy efforts intended to limit literacy's political potential. Robert Austin examines the relationship between the Chilean state, formal and non-formal literacy, and popular education under Eduardo Frei Montalva (Christian Democrat, 1964-70), Salvador Allende (Socialist, 1970-73) and Augusto Pinochet (Dictator, 1973-90). The book follows that relationship from the demise of liberal capitalism to the consolidation of neoliberalism. It argues that popular education helped secure the inclusion and empowerment of women and ethnic minorities. The book addresses political scientists, cultural historians and scholars of education.You may also like John Cn Collins All Books Genealogy sku-2987229546.
