Uprooting Otherness

"Uprooting Otherness treats the main theme of how literacy and the literacy campaign were perceived, not only by those implementing it, but by those who were its target during the era of the New Economic Policy (NEP), 1921-1928. By showing what priority the Soviet leadership placed on literacy, Clark shows how a perception of the need for complete literacy reflected the value placed on human capital during this evolutionary period in Soviet history.". "This book demonstrates how the State attempted to impose literacy on illiterate portions of its population, and how various segments of the population reacted to the subsequent campaign."--BOOK JACKET.
