Abstract
This chapter examines ideologies of “imperial nationalism” as a second-order matrix for gendered theories of literacy and for gendered educational practices. It discusses evidence strongly supporting Benedict Anderson's argument that capitalism would likely have remained a phenomenon of “petty proportions” had it not been preceded and accompanied by changes in the domain of language use. It explains that capitalism both needed and helped to produce the creation of print languages that were capable of dissemination through the market.
