Literacy in America shows that literacy has been used as a means of social control with authority figures dictating which reading material is acceptable and which is not. Literacy has also operated as a vehicle of citizenship for Americans and as a symbol of democracy. With its ambitious scope, the book is a seminal guide to literacy in America.
