Author: Glen PetersonPublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774842016
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
This book is a social and political history of the struggle for literacy in rural China from 1949 until 1994. It aims to show how China's revolutionary leaders conceived and promoted literacy in the countryside and how villagers made use of the literacy education and schools they were offered. Rather than focusing narrowly on educational issues alone, Peterson examines the larger significance of P.R.C. literacy efforts by situating the literacy movement within the broad context of major themes and issues in the social and political history of post-1949 China. Following the recent trend toward regional and local history, this book focuses on the linguistically diverse, socially complex, and politically awkward southeastern coastal province of Guangdong. As well, Peterson conducted interviews with local officials and teachers in several Guangdong counties in 1988 and 1989.

China's Literacy Myth

Book Description
This dissertation examines literacy's relationships to social, cultural, and political changes in the first half of 20th-century China. It explores the meaning of literacy and its changes in both rhetorical and practical dimensions by examining the various literacy movements sponsored by competing political entities, namely the Qing court (ruled until 1911), the Republican government under the rule of the Chinese Nationalist Party (1928-1949), and the Chinese Communists (est. 1921). Early 20th century Chinese social reformers, state leaders, and revolutionaries all defined literacy as a transformative tool for grand goals, including China's independence and modernity. Such mindsets formed China's literacy myth, which posits literacy in a direct, linear causal relationship to expected social changes. At the same, China's literacy myth fails to present the dynamics and nuances of political actors' uses of literacy in practice to build a modern China according to their distinctive visions. This dissertation examines China's literacy myth as an ideology and powerful discourse that served various political entities' quest for hegemony. It glorified mass education as a patriotic, nationalistic, and modernizing endeavor and thus legitimated its political sponsors as leaders of the nation. While competing political entities tailored literacy education to cultivate popular loyalty to their own regime, it was the content and forms of literacy education, rather than the skills of reading and writing themselves, that to a great extent determined literacy's diversified social impact. The meanings and functions of literacy were also shaped through an interactive negotiation process between political authorities and ordinary people involved in literacy learning. Focusing on the process of how political elites taught ordinary people to read and write, this dissertation challenges social theorists' dichotomized view of literacy as being either a controlling or a liberating variable. Oftentimes, Chinese elites used literacy to control as well as to liberate; meanwhile, non-elites often managed to extend their own interests while submitting to the prescribed order.
