Grassroots Literacy: Writing, Identity and Voice in Central Africa
by Jan Blommaert
- New
Routledge. Paperback. New. Paperback. 240 pages. Dimensions: 9.2in. x 6.2in. x 0.6in.What effect has globalization had on our understanding of literacy Grassroots Literacy seeks to address the relationship between globalization and the widening gap between grassroots literacies, or writings from ordinary people and local communities, and elite literacies. Displaced from their original context to elite literacy environments in the form of letters, police declarations and pieces of creative writing, grassroots literacies are unsurprisingly easily disqualified, either as bad forms of literacy, or as messages that fail to be understood. Through close analysis of two unique, handwritten documents from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Jan Blommaert considers how grassroots literacy in the Third World develops outside the literacy-saturated environments of the developed world. In examining these documents produced by socially and economically marginalized writers Blommaert demonstrates how literacy environments should be understood as relatively autonomous systems. Grassroots Literacy will be key reading for students of language and literacy studies as well as an invaluable resource for anyone with an interest in understanding the implications of globalization on local literacy practices.
