This edition arrests the attention of those who have any realistic interest in a critical explanation of the literacy situation in the country and as such it cannot have come at a more propitous time. It takes a hard and serious look at the problem of functional literacy among the marginalized communities in the Philippines and challenges the traditional Western definitions of literacy. Its fresh insights stem from its deliberate focus on the communities outside the mainstream of Philippine society and therefore contributes much that is new and path-breaking in the literature on literacy on literacy here and abroad.
