Why Eat Green Cucumbers at the Time of Dying: Women's Literacy and Development in Nepal by Anna Robinson-Pant, UIE, Hamburg
http://www.unesco.org/education/uie/pdf/robinson.pdf
"What Anna Robinson-Pant provides instead is a subtle and nuanced account of what it means for local women to engage in a range of literacy practices in specific social contexts. The focus here is on the processes by which people acquire literacy and deploy its use for their own purposes rather than on some universal skill called 'literacy' or an essential category called 'woman'. The strength of the book lies in the close local knowledge that she brings to bear on this subject, deriving from many months of close observation, living with local people, knowledge of the language and keeping of detailed field notes in ethnographic style." (quote from the forward by Brian Street)
