In 2016, a new edited book on adult literacy was published by Sense Publications. The book is called "Beyond Economic Interests: Critical Perspectives on Adult Literacy and Numeracy in a Globalised World". It was edited by Keiko Yasukawa and Stephen Black (both from the University of Technology Sydney). The book critiques the increasingly heavy emphasis on the economic benefits of adult literacy and presents counter-arguments to the narrow economic focus. Tannis Atkinson and Nancy Jackson published their review of the book in Literacy and Numeracy Studies. You can access the entire book review through this link.
