Throughout the book, Brandt describes how literacy skills have become intertwined with economic competition and technological change, how basic skills in one generation often prove inadequate for the next—and the tremendous pressure this puts on teachers, families, communities and, most of all, learners. In addition, Brandt introduces the concept of sponsors of literacy—agents, forces, and institutions that stimulate or support people's literacy strivings for their own economic or political or cultural advantage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLiteracy and Learning\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling and thought-provoking reflection on the changing definitions and expectations for literacy in recent years.
