Abstract	This book compiles 21 action research articles from 12 countries that describe community-based initiatives in adult literacy education in peripheral rural areas. These initiatives represent dynamic experiments in cultural action that explicitly link individual basic education and a collective change in the conditions of local life. The reports focus on the collective aspects of literacy, reject central authorized assessments of language skills, and proceed from a cultural understanding of literacy that situates the written word within the social problematic of communication rather than within the context of instructional theories. Articles from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Chile, include the following: (1) "Rural Spain" (Purificacion Marcos); (2) "Twelve Years of Sociocultural Action in the Las Villas Area" (Quintin Garcia Gonzalez); (3) "'Preescolar na Casa': Teaching Parents To Teach Children" (Ermitas Fernandez); (4) "A Cultural Empowerment Process in Rural Areas" (Joaquin Garcia Carrasco); (5) "New Cultural Development Options" (Hilario Hernandez Sanchez); (6) "From Literacy Activities to Entrepreneurship in Siete Pilas" (Antonio Chacon, Angel Polo); (7) "Literacy Education & Cultural Development in Reguengos de Monzaraz" (Maria Da Graca Abreu, Joaquina Maria Margalha); (8) "Answers to Education Problems in Rural Italy" (Paolo Federighi, Giovanni Parlavecchia); (9) "The Velvendos Women's Agricultural and Craft Co-operative" (Gella Vornava Skoura, Dimitris Vergidis, Georgia Sariyannidou, Sophia Avgitidou); (10) "'Turkish Faces & Landscapes': An Experiment in Creative Workshop Leadership" (Daniel Seret, Christine Mahy); (11) "Opening Up Learning: Responding to the Literacy Needs of the Rural Communities" (Sue Buss, Julia Clarke, Sue Craggs, Sue Grief, Mary Hamilton, Catherine Sauzier); (12) "A New History for the Hungarian Village of Gyulaj" (Ferenc Balipap); (13) "Functional Literacy in Romania: Between Myth & Reality" (Florentina Anghel); (14) "Television & Literacy Development in the Czech Republic" (Stanislav Hubik); (15) "Empowering People & Building Competent Communities" (Priscilla George); (16) "Literacy: A Critical Element in the Survival of Aboriginal Languages" (Lynn Fogwill); (17) "Challenges of Literacy & Development in Rural Quebec" (Hughes Dionne, Raynald Horth); (18) "Migrant & Seasonal Farmworkers: An Invisible Population" (Loida C. Velasquez); (19) "Appalachian Communities: Working To Survive" (Mary Beth Bingman, Connie White); (20) "Community in the Classroom: Literacy & Development in a Rural Industrialized Region" (Juliet Merrifield, Connie White, Mary Beth Bingman); and (21) "Popular Education for Peasant Communities in Chile" (Isabel Infante R., Eugenia Letelier G.). Introductory and concluding chapters by Jean-Paul Hautecoeur provide a theoretical framework for the reports. (SV)
