    Over 800 million adults worldwide, two thirds of them women, are unable to reap the benefits of literate expression. In this publication, the author aims to dispel the notion that illiteracy is principally confined to rural areas, which has for many years been the main focus of development programs. Through a series of case studies and analysis this book provides a valuable insight into what literacy can mean in an urban setting and explores the many ways it is used to enhance the lives of individuals. It highlights the need for greater understanding of the diversity of literacy learning and explores the practical issues in providing assistance to those who aspire to improve their literacy skills.--Publisher's description
