Abstract | Examines the literacy myth: the belief that literacy can solve complex personal and social problems. Explores links between "literacy for life" and Dewey's concept of growth. Makes the case for a pragmatic middle ground between structural-functional and radical-transformative interpretations of adult literacy education. Presents a case example of a pragmatic approach.
