Beyond the Lettered City: Indigenous Literacies in the Andes
Joanne Rappaport, Tom Cummins
This book extends the conception of literacy beyond the written word to incorporate the visual. Focusing on the period of colonization in the Andean region the authors argue that the European cultural literacy that they imposed on the indigenous population was not just a tool for oppression and control but was used by the local people as a means to assert their own cultural identity.
