N2  - In this major work, social historian Harvey J. Graff continues his critical revision of commonly held ideas about literacy by deconstructing the "literacy myth"—the simplistic belief that the acquisition of literacy automatically leads to economic development, social mobility, and democratic progress. Drawing on historical and contemporary data, Graff demonstrates how literacy is multi-layered, showing its complex connections to social class, gender, and power structures
