Abstract	This book is an international review of the literature on literacy and the new work order. The book begins with an overview examining the following topics: the history of workplace literacy education, the changing nature of work, the problem of illiteracy, and literacy in the context of the workplace. Part 1 presents texts critiquing or supporting the rhetoric of a New Work Order and analyses of the following current themes and issues: crisis and competitiveness (global restructuring, the literacy crisis, attempts to respond to and refute the crisis, and implications for provision); high-performance workplaces (total quality management and change, flexibility, impact of technology, core and periphery workers, and implications for provision); and the learning organization (competency-based training, progression and promotion, banking and liberating education, and implications for provision). Each section in part 1 contains a substantial bibliography. Part 2, which constitutes approximately one-third of the book, is an annotated bibliography of 120 publications: documents examining social science theory; management texts; research reports; policy documents; and documents exploring the role of unions in workplace literacy education and current workplace literacy education practice. The book contains 248 references. (MN)
