Description
What effect has globalization had on our understanding of literacy? Grassroots Literacy seeks to address the relationship between globalization and the widening gap between x2018;grassrootsx2019; literacies, or writings from ordinary people and local communities, and x2018;elitex2019; literacies. Displaced from their original context to elite literacy environments in the form of letters, police declarations and pieces of creative writing, x2018;grassrootsx2019; literacies are unsurprisingly easily disqualified, either as x2018;badx2019; 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 x2018;grassrootsx2019; literacy in the Third World develops outside the literacy-saturatedenvironments 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.
