Reference
 

Duranti, Alessandro, and Elinor Ochs. 1986. "Literacy instruction in a Samoan Village." In Schieffelin and Gilmore 1986.

Summary
 

Focus on the difference between adult-child relationships and discourse in Samoan households and school settings. Shows that one result of literacy and schooling is socialization into certain Western perspectives and values which differ from traditional village life. For the majority of rural Samoans, the differing views are restricted to particular domains.
