*Gabriel Salazar, Universidad de Chile*
Robert Austin has produced a fascinating analysis of the
development of education policies in a Third World nation, and how
the problem of illiteracy was overcome and why. This remarkable
investigative achievement will be of special interest to cultural
historians, political scientists, and those interested in education
policies in Latin America.
*Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies*
This substantial volume constitutes an enourmous challenge both to
Latin Americanists and to those who seek points of comparision in
the analysis of historical processes.
*Hispanic American Historical Review*
The State, Literacy, and Popular Education in Chile, 1964-1990 is
different and challenging, and as such will invigorate the study of
the history of adult and popular education in Latin America.
