Download or read book The Social Uses of Literacy written by Mastin Prinsloo and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Uses of Literacy: Theory and Practice in Contemporary South Africa challenges state-driven policy and provision in South Africa around the construction of a national delivery system for adult literacy that is part of a programme for Adult Basic Education. The implication is that many people who are the target of this system will be unwilling to participate at the entry point of literacy acquisition unless a reconceptualisation of the nature of literacy use by adults is made. Using fascinating and carefully documented case-study material, this book raises vital questions about literacy and illiteracy, and about adult education. Above all, it questions the efficacy of any literacy programme which fails to acknowledge the many ways in which uneducated and so called 'illiterate' people already use reading, writing and numeracy in their everyday lives.

Book excerpt: An unforgettable account of defiance against political terror by one of South Africa's pioneering anti-apartheid activists An invaluable testimonial of the excesses of the apartheid system, 117 Days presents the harrowing chronicle of journalist Ruth First's isolation and abuse at the hands of South African interrogators after her arrest in 1963.

Download or read book Women Literacy and Development written by Anna Robinson-Pant and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-12 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's literacy is often assumed to be the key to promoting better health, family planning and nutrition in the developing world. This has dominated much development research and has led to women's literacy being promoted by governments and aid agencies as the key to improving the lives of poor families. High dropout rates from literacy programmes suggest that the assumed link between women's literacy and development can be disputed. This book explores why women themselves want to learn to read and write and why, all too often, they decide that literacy classes are not for them. Bringing together the experiences of researchers, policy makers and practitioners working in more than a dozen countries, this edited volume presents alternative viewpoints on gender, development and literacy through detailed first-hand accounts. Rather than seeing literacy as a set of technical skills to be handed over in classrooms, these writers give new meaning to key terms such as 'barriers', 'culture', 'empowerment' and 'motivation'. Divided into three sections, this text examines new research approaches, a gendered perspective on literacy policy and programming, and implementation of literacy projects in African, Asian and South American contexts. With new insights and groundbreaking research, this collection will interest academics and professionals working in the fields of development, education and gender studies.

Book excerpt: "This is a searingly honest book by someone who really knows his subject. Goodman is sympathetic to the attempts at transformation in my beloved motherland. The message of this book applies just as easily to the United States, where the fault lines run very deep, too. And the U.S. has been trying to solve these problems a great deal longer than the new South Africa."—Archbishop Desmond Tutu "David Goodman's vivid, intensely personal, and unobtrusively erudite book is irresistible reading for anyone who cares about South Africa."—Adam Hochshild, author of King Leopold's Ghost "A gem of a book. An excellent introduction to the intricacies of South African politics and society."—Gail M. Gerhart, Foreign Affairs "A sequence of truths shown through the lives of eight contrasted citizens, this book reveals our new South Africa with the startling accuracy of flashes of lightning on a stormy night—and with the apartheid storm over, a remarkable rainbow of hope can be seen."—Donald Woods, author of Biko

It will entertain and inform anyone with an interest in this fascinating region. This large format book is lavishly illustrated in colour and includes four separate large foldout maps.
Download or read book African Fireside Stories written by Olaotse Obed Gabasiane and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This African story book is based on true happenings in the African experience involving mainly young African children. In this volume, the reader not only learns of the vibrant characters of these children, but also gets a glimpse of the culture, tradition, and way of life of Africans. The general setting for these stories is in the distant rural areas not yet tainted by the intricacies of modern life. In these places, people still rely on simple modes of transport, such as riding on donkeys or donkey carts. But these stories also reflect how resolute and determined African children can be in their attempts to be obedient to their parents, teachers, relatives, and the village elders. Parents instill the values of community upon their children. Many of the characters in this story are young believers in the Christian faith. Some of the children have demonstrated that raw faith which made sure nothing stood between them and what they believed in. The stories reflect the reality of the African adventurous life. They contain lessons of life and the values that any serious parents would desire to see developing in their children. This volume will certainly be a good read for anybody who enjoy readings about what is happening on the other side of the world-or all around it. Countless African children have enjoyed stories such as these told by the fireside by a grandmother or other elderly person as the evening wastes into the night. Enjoy!

Download or read book Creation Myths of Primitive America written by Jeremiah Curtin and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Jeremiah Curtin's book was his first on the unwritten mental productions of primitive America. It contains twenty long myths taken down word for word by him from Indians who knew no religion nor language save their own, and the chief of whom had not seen a white man until years of maturity. These myths are all of remarkable beauty and exceptional value; among the more noteworthy is "Olelbis," containing an account of the creation of the heavenly house in the Central Blue, the highest point in the sky above us. In this mythis described also the great World Fire which was extinguished by a flood; and next a reconstruction of the face of the earth, which gave the form existing at present. In addition to their intrinsic beauty, these masterpieces of the primitive human mind in America antedate by many ages the earliest forms of thought represented to us in the records of Egypt and Assyria, hence their value may be easily inferred; they explain to us things which had become unintelligible to the priests of Egypt and Assyria in the religious systems which they themselves taught and studied. The volume contains an elaborate introduction and all necessary notes
