American triumphalism is disgusting. The people I worked with, mostly men, were modest and dressed modestly, usually in short sleeved white shirts and dark trousers (summer). Some were nationals of the countries they worked in. Most were multilingual. All of them had lived outside the United States. They didn't raise their voices but they sure knew their stuff. I know about Kerala and literacy, it is a model of what can be done--there it is, the "we know how to solve problems," THEY DID. I remember John Comings (who has lived and worked abroad) of NCSALL using a film about Kerala in one of his courses. So how did Kerala do it? What's the real story? Andrea
