In the twentieth century, illiteracy and its elimination were political issues important enough to figure in the fall of governments, the building of nations, and the construction of a revolutionary order. This political biography of Paulo Freire, who played a crucial role in shaping international literacy education, also presents a thoughtful examination of the volatile politics of literacy during the Cold War.
