Peterson, Glen

Journal of Educational Thought/Revue de la Pensee Educative, v28 n2 p138-52 Aug 1994

Examines the social construction of literacy in China after the Communist revolution, demonstrating that official literacy ideologies contributed to the formation and reproduction of rural-urban differences in Chinese society. Suggests that the spread of literacy potentially can contribute to greater and more elaborate social divisions. (24 citations). (MAB)
