    African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, Mzumbe, 2nd - 7th July, 1979 – Group Discussion on Literacy Content, Groups I & IV
    (1979-07-07) Mirii, Ngugi wa; Baguma, R.
    This report documents the discussion held during the African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research (Mzumbe, 2nd - 7th July, 1979) on literacy content, with Groups I and IV participating. Led by Ngugi wa Mirii, the group discussed critical questions regarding the role of development in transforming oppressive systems, the impact of foreign domination, and the exploitation of peasants. It was noted that for literacy content to be effective, it must resonate with the people’s material conditions, and the people must contribute to creating the program content. The success of the Limuru Literacy Programme and Kamirithu Programme was highlighted as they raised the participants' awareness of the exploitative and oppressive nature of the system, particularly through participatory content creation.
