Grassroots Literacy helps us see the
realities of inscription
-
writing in
longhand
-
at the non-elite peripheries
of our globally stratified system
■
of communication.Two Congolese
texts, one autobiographical, one
historiographie,
float upward and
inward like messages in a bottle: in
telling their story, Jan Blommaert
illustrates and passionately advocates
for an ethics of interpretation that
confronts and overcomes the tiers of
exclusion that otherwise mute such
writers voices.
Michael Silverstein,
University of Chicago, USA
What effect has globalisation had on our understanding of
literacy? Grassroots Literacy seeks to address the relationship
between globalisation and the widening gap between
grassroots literacies, or writings from ordinary people and
local communities, and elite literacies.
Displaced from their original context to elite literacy
environments in the form of letters, police declarations
and pieces of creative writing, grassroots literacies are
unsurprisingly easily disqualified, either as bad 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 grassroots literacy in theThird World develops
outside the literacy-saturated environments of the developed
world. In examining these documents produced by socially and
economically marginalised 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
globalisation on local literacy practices.
Jan Blommaert is Finland Distinguished Professor of Linguistic
Anthropology at the University of
Jyväskylä,
Finland, as well
as Professor of Linguistic Anthropology at
Tilburg
University.
His publications include Debating Diversity (co-author,
Routledge,
1998),
