Robert Austin's book explores the contest between the state and popular education in three paradigmatic Latin American regimes: that of Eduardo Frei Montalva (Christian Democrat, 1964-70), Salvador Allende (Socialist, 1970-73) and Augusto Pinochet (Dictator, 1973-90). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobert Austin's engaging narrative captures the relationship between the Chilean state, formal and non-formal literacy, and popular education, from the demise of liberal capitalism to the consolidation of neoliberalism. This remarkable investigation of the dynamic link between the historical process, literacy, and pedagogy celebrates popular education's victory in securing the inclusion, and subsequent empowerment, of women and ethnic minorities. \u003ci\u003eThe State, Literacy, and Popular Education in Chile, 1964-1990\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great interest to political scientists, cultural historians, and scholars of education.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255909536088,"sku":"9780739102886","price":173.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780739102886.jpg?v=1765082743","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/state-literacy-and-popular-education-in-chile-1964-1990","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
