Exploring the ideological dimensions of literacy debates, this book highlights the historical roots of these discussions and their suppression by British governments. Urszula Clark emphasizes the critical relationship between language and national identity, particularly during identity crises. By comparing the UK's situation with that of other English-speaking nations like Australia, New Zealand, and the USA, she illustrates how such crises resonate globally, making this analysis both timely and significant in understanding contemporary literacy practices.
