| Zusammenfassung: | ""Mouftah's careful ethnographic examination of adult literacy programs in Egypt acts as an intersection from which the reader can turn one way or another to explore everything from debates about Qur'anic hermeneutics and contemporary theories of development, to gender and language ideologies, the false promises of neoliberalism, and the cruel optimism of revolutionary hope." - Gregory Starrett, author of Putting Islam to Work: Education, Politics, and Religious Transformation in Egypt ". In addition to tracing the social life of literacy campaign in Egypt, the manuscript provocatively questions the privileging of literacy in the first place. The author gives spaces to ways of knowing that rely on other modes of experiencing text. |
