Using literacy practices in the newly independent post-apartheid Namibia as a lens through which to examine the effects of globalization, this case study looks at issues surrounding tourism, state control and the new forces of consumerism. It considers language practices that can exclude some members of Namibian society.

Providing a very contemporary overview of literacy, numeracy and 'English as a Second or Other Language' teaching, this book presents a radically new perspective on reading, writing and mathematics among adults.
