Christianity and rural community literacy practices in Uganda
Abstract
In this article, we examine how Christianity provides the impetus for local literacy
practices in a rural community in Uganda. These Christian literacy practices form a
central part of the literacy activities of the community and are manifested in a variety
of contexts from public to private, using a wide variety of readily available religious
texts in the community. Through examination of Christian literacy practices, the
authors suggest that ethnographic research has the potential to generate information
that can be used to enhance literacy learning in rural community life.
