Dear David,

This is one question that I have been wondering about
for years. Aside from the 'glory days' in the 70s/80s
which colleagues of mine at NCSALL told me about and
one in NY, I could find no Freireian approaches to
adult literacy. I have studied the 70s-80s classics,
and I have been curious as to what happened since
then.

Thanks for raising this question,
Warm regards,
Ujwala
