Sommario/riassunto |

In the twentieth century, illiteracy and its elimination were political issues important enough to figure in the fall of governments (as in Brazil in 1964), the building of nations (in newly independent African countries in the 1970's), and the construction of a revolutionary order (Nicaragua in 1980).
