Language, Literacy, and Social Change in Mongolia

Traditionalist, Socialist, and Post-Socialist Identities

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that literacy functions as a means of tracking social change in modern Mongolia. Its leaders have used literacy to promote new ways of living and socialist identities. In post-socialist Mongolia, literacy expresses the anxieties that Mongolians feel as they navigate globalism and express conflicting identities.
