Promoting Literacy for Roma Children and Young People

Promoting literacy to among young people is a task that can be pursued on many fronts. In the book Promoting Literacy for Roma Children and Young People the authors argue that in order to promote literacy, one needs certain background information. One should understand and know the advantages of being literate, and also the nature of reading, and how a student learns to read. Promoting literacy among people who have been oppressed because of their cultural identity requires understanding something else: the nature of identity development among oppressed young people; and the nature of racism.
