520    Cowinner of the Society for Linguistic Anthropology's 
       Edward Sapir Book Prize Since the early 1990s hundreds of 
       thousands of Tamil villagers in southern India have 
       participated in literacy lessons and other events designed
       to transform them into active citizens with access to 
       state power. These efforts are part of a movement known as
       the Arivoli Iyakkam (the Enlightenment Movement), one of 
       the most successful mass literacy movements in recent 
       history. This rich ethnographic account of highlights the 
       paradoxes inherent in such movements that seek to 
       emancipate people through literacy.
