Reviews

Robert [Austin] has structured what is, probably, the most complete work written on Chile in the field.
*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.
*From The Foreword*
