Are they illiterate or silenced people? Are they global citizens or global outcasts? Drawing from case studies of flesh and blood individuals in Mexico and the U.S., this book questions the colonizing images of the “illiterate”, and explores the ways in which the long social history of conquest and colonization, plunder and globalization, is inscribed in the personal histories of today’s subjugated people. It argues that rather than “limited literacy skills” they face systematic lack of freedom to speak, act, and make decisions about their own lives. Literacy, thus, is understood as a key practice of voice and citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Winds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e1 Against the Winds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e2 The Un-making of the Illiterate\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart II: Voices\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e3 Agents\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e4 Transnationals\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e5 Survivors\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart III: Politics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e6 Literacy Politics \u0026amp; Policies\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e7 Decolonizing Literacy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel View Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043005792599,"sku":"9781847692627","price":28.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/decolonizing-literacy-mexican-lives-in-the-era-of-global-capitalism-9781847692627","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
