    Toward a Critical Analysis of Literacy in Southern Africa
    (Comparative Education Review, 1993-11) Mundy, Karen
    A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or resource. A comparison of literacy efforts and outcomes in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Botswana suggests that, when national literacy efforts are viewed within the framework of an exploitative and dynamic world economy, few general rules can be deduced about the importance of literacy or how to achieve it. Decisions about African societal priorities must be returned to the people affected.
