Abstract | The authors report on their research project 'Literacy for migrants' which was conceived as a response to discussions with nomads met during other fieldwork in Gujarat, Western India about their difficulties in getting their children to attend school because of their migrator way of life and adults' problems because they were unable to read". The specific research question developed by the authors was how a large nomadic group, the Rabaris in Kutch, relates itself towards literacy, focusing on the fact that this group haa unusual relationship with mainstream society and that "they are a highly independent group who value social apartness and for whom, until recently, any form of formal education has been irrelevant. We proposed, therefore, to construct an 'ethnography of literacy acquisition' over a time-scale of 2 1/4 years. ... We would first document the social context of this nomade community: its social organisation, cultural conventions, ... levels of formal education and/or literacy, interactions with external literate and numerate conventions, etc. From this wider context, we wanted to understand what education, formal schooling and literacy means to this community".
