Opposing Views: An Analysis of Resistance to Adult Literacy and Basic Education.
Quigley, B. Allan
International Journal of Lifelong Education, v11 n1 p41-49 Jan-Mar 1992
Resistance theory was used as a framework in analyzing 10 works of fiction containing a character who resisted traditional schooling and embraced an alternative lifestyle. The results applied to nonparticipants in adult basic education show that resisters reject the hegemony of values of traditional programs. (JOW)
