Conceived in the early 1950s through the enthusiasm of Frank C. Laubach, the world's only graduate program for literacy journalism was started when his son, Robert Laubach, came to Syracuse University to study journalism. He was the student/instructor of the first class in 1951 and stayed to get a doctorate and to direct and teach the literacy journalism sequence until it ended in 1981. Literacy journalism was particularly concerned with developing countries and their "new readers." The class of 1958-59 decided to prepare a weekly newspaper for adults with low reading skills in English, "News for You," which was published by New Readers Press, started by Bob Laubach. In 1967, it became officially the publishing division of Laubach Literacy International. By 1959, Bob Laubachwas teaching the original course, Writing for New Literates; another called Adult Literacy Techniques; and special classes of adult educators sent by governments of developing nations to learneasy writing techniques. From 1955-63, he taught a 6-week intensivecourse at Chautauqua Institution. The history of literacy journalism in part 1 is followed by four personal stories by alumni and teachers--Roland E. Wolseley, Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, Caroline Blakely, and Robert S. Laubach. Appendixes include the following: career summaries of alumni; a bibliography of selected works by alumni; quotes from alumni; course outline for Writing for New Literates; "Editorial Performance Standards" (Kay Freeman); and list of alumni. (YLB) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. **********************************************:.****************** acyjournalism. atti,PacuseVtoereztin A thirty-year history: 1952-1981 U.S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Cake et Eoucahona!

The authors' thanks to the several dozen photographers, many of whom worked so long ago as tobecome anonymous; their images add greatly to the memories in this book. Text and photos in this volume were scanned and the book reproduced by Morrow Graphics, Inc., Syracuse, NY 13202 Dedication This work is dedictated to Frances Ilene Brown Laubach, 19281988. In life, through 35 years of marriage, she stood behind me and urged me ever onwards. Her gracious southern hospitality was remembered by all who met her; many persons mentioned in this book have been guests in our home. Fran was wife and mother who handled all details of a growing family with radiant cheerfulness. In death, her memory inspires me to keep going ever onwards. As my tribute to her, I can do no less. thu In Gratitude by Robert S. Laubach Lest the reader, on first opening this report, imagine that it is an account of one man's mission, this is my statement of thanks to many: To William P. Tolley, former chancellor of Syracuse University, who met my father, Frank C. Laubach, in the late '40s. Chancellor Tolley, as other educators have eloquently stated, set the stage for international education, including adult literacy, to be fostered at Syracuse University. To M. Lyle Spencer, founding dean of the S.U. School of Journalism, who opened the doors of the old Yates Castle to Literacy Journalism. To Wesley C. Clark, dean of the School of Journalism and later of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications during most of my thirty years of teaching. His keen support was friendly and unflagging. To my close colleagues in the Graduate Division of the School of Journalism, and the Magazine Department, where Literacy Journalism was housed: Prof. Roland E. Wolseley, who had already started the Religious Journalism program when I arrived, and who contributes a chapter in this report. Prof. George, L. Bird, whom the dean charged with helping to organize the curriculum for the M.A. Degree in Literacy Journalism. Prof. Robert Root, a close friend and mentor in the department, beginning with Dr. Wolseley's teaching abroad in India. Prof. Burton L. Marvin, the last of my close colleagues in the School of Journalism. To other professors in the School of Journalism, who taught me as a graduate student in journalism: Prof. Larry Siegfried, chairman of Graphic Arts, who helped me build upon the rudimentary training I had received as a teenager in the Philippines. Prof. Wesley Brewster, who nurtured my love of photography and helped me hone picture-taking and darkroom skills. To persons in the School of Education, in which I worked for my Ph.D. in Reading Education: Prof. William D. Sheldon, director of reading education, who challenged me to look beyond phonics, and who guided me through my dissertation. [iv] Margaret Early, professor of reading, who helped broaden my concepts of reading, and encouraged me to prepare materials for persons with limited reading abilities. Ray Kuhlen, professor of adult psychology, with whom I began to study adult motivations to learn. Alexander Charters, professor of adult education, who helped me see where literacy fits into the concept of lifelong learning, and who later was a member of the Board of Trustees of Laubach Literacy International. To A ifred D. Moore, executive secretary of the Committee on World Literacy and Christian Literature of the National Council of Churches, who provided a scholarship for my studies at Syracuse University. To John Ryder, a New York City advertising executive and recovered alcoholic, who took me.under his wing in the late 1940s and inspired me to fair play, hard work and a tolerance and understanding for others. To Tataro Macaindeg, the head printer at the mission press for the Maranaos in the first days of literacy in the Philippines in the 1930s. Tataro taught me at age 13 how to set type, unknowingly setting me on the course that would lead eventually to my career in literacy journalism. And to my parents, Effa Seely and Frank Charles Laubach, who gave their son a world of geography and of understanding that everyone is deserving of the service of love that literacy and writing for new literates can provide.

O. Box 97291 Waco, TX 76798-7291 The Baptist Literacy Missions Center at Baylor is a joint project of Baylor University and the Baptist General Convention of Texas FORWARD Most persons who become acquainted with Frank Laubach first learn of his work in literacy. Greg Lawson “met” Dr. Laubach in a seminary class on spiritual development. Lawson’s professor began each class by reading from Laubach’s devotional writings. Lawson was impressed by what he heard and wrote this book as a result of those impressions. Frank C. Laubach: Man of Faith is an account of one man’s struggle and eventual victory in the arena of Christian faith and practice. The book will inspire those who appreciate Laubach’s contribution to world literacy even as it will call to action those who seek practical expression of Christian witness in a hurting world.

    H-Education Reyhner on Kirkendall, 'Paulo Freire and the Cold War Politics of Literacy' Review published on Friday, September 28, 2012 Andrew J. Kirkendall. Paulo Freire and the Cold War Politics of Literacy. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2010. xvi + 246 pp. $34.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8078-3419-0. Reviewed by Jon Reyhner (Northern Arizona University) Published on H-Education (September, 2012) Commissioned by Jonathan Anuik Andrew J. Kirkendall follows Paulo Freire’s (1921-97) career promoting adult literacy from northern Brazil to the world stage. Freire was thrown into poverty at age thirteen when his father died. As a young man, he worked for ten years with adult education programs with the illiterate poor who were excluded from political participation by the literacy requirement of Brazil’s 1891 Constitution, a requirement that did not change until 1988. In the beginning, the Alliance for Progress, part of the U.S. post–World War II Cold War strategy, supported the efforts of Freire and others to educate the poor in Latin America but that support was abandoned under President Richard Nixon. Freire and his colleagues experimented with teaching methods to replace traditional night schools with “cultural circles” where teachers would become “dialogue coordinators” and students “small group participants” (p. 39). His egalitarian idea was to promote “the work of ‘man with man’ and not ‘for man’” (p. 21). Instead of using textbooks, Portuguese vocabulary would come from the students’ lived experiences and slides depicting learners’ daily lives, including people voting. The slides would be used to promote discussions.

By tracing how Soviet connections shaped Ghana’s post-colonial economic ideologies, its Pan-African program, and its modalities of citizenship, this dissertation contradicts literature that portrays African leaders as misguided political-economic theorists, ideologically inconsistent, or ignorant Marxist-Leninists. Rather, I argue that Nkrumah and Ghana’s postcolonial government actively formed new political economic ideologies by drawing from Lenin’s state-capitalist framework and the Soviet Economic Policy (NEP) to reconcile capitalist policies under a decolonial socialist umbrella. Moreover, I investigate how ordinary Africans—the working poor, party members, local and cabinet-level government officials, economic planners, and the informal sector—grappled with ii and reshaped the state’s role and duty to its citizens, conceptions of race, Ghana’s place within the Cold War, state-capitalism, and the functions of state-corporations. Consequently, The Red Star State attends both to the intricacies of local politics while tracing how global ideas and conceptions of socialism, citizenship, governmentality, capitalism, and decolonization impacted the first independent sub-Saharan African state.

G. Collingwood 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Ghanaians are a welcoming people. It was my good luck on my first trip to Ghana in the summer of 2007 to meet Adwoa Grace Kyeremeh, member of the royal family and dairy farmer, who welcomed me and made me feel at home in Anomabo. This study of Anomabo's rock residences results from the collective efforts of many people, including Grace, to whom I owe gratitude. Contacts made in the summer of 2007 with local leaders and individuals such as Nana Kwa Nyanfoeku Akwa (Nana Kwa), the town historian, revealed the potential for dissertation study of the visual culture. I returned in the summer of 2008 to further my pre-dissertation research with scholars at the University of Ghana in Legon, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology in Kumasi (KNUST), and the University of Cape Coast as well as several of the leaders and townspeople of Anomabo. I stayed in Ghana for six mo nths in 2009 to complete my dissertation fieldwork. To prepare for my interviews, I studied the Akan culture and Twi language at the University of Florida.

Professor Carole Edmonds Professor Timothy Wall Professor Victoria Seeger Professor Dana Melton Dedication Page ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To my husband, Blake, who has willingly supported me along this three-year educational journey we call, pursuing my doctorate degree. Night after night when I was working, writing, or thinking about working and writing, you were self-sufficient and left me uninterrupted to make progress. I love you! To my dad, Tom, who traveled back and forth with me while I was in my consecutive weeks of data collection, hours away from home. Thank goodness for large bags of cheese puffs. I love you! To my mom, Karen, who served as my prayer warrior throughout this entire journey. On the days when I thought I could not get through another day, you reminded me that God had equipped me to do this and His grace combined with your prayers allowed this to happen.
